On May 22, we celebrate the feast of St. Rita of Cascia, Patroness of impossible causes.
Pope St. John Paul II called her “a disciple of the Crucified One” and an “expert in suffering.”
No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.
