St. Rita of Cascia is known as the "Saint of Impossible Causes" for her perseverance in prayer and faith despite a life filled with suffering. She lived a life of wealth as signified by the intricate gold embroidery, but at the cost of great suffering, she earned even greater riches in heaven. After enduring a tumultuous marriage and widowhood, she became a nun and dedicated herself to prayer, eventually receiving the stigmata, a symbol of her deep union with Christ's passion.
