Day 6: Contemplation of the Passion
Day 6 attends to Rita's forty years of contemplative life centered on the Passion of Christ.
The Augustinian life
For forty years Rita served the Augustinian community at Cascia in obedience, prayer, manual work, and contemplation of the Passion. The Catholic contemplative life is the engine of every active apostolate.
Prayer
Saint Rita, give me your love of the Passion of Christ. Help me to make a small space for contemplation in my own daily life. Amen.
Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
