The prayer of Saint Rita

The prayer of Saint Rita

I asked the Lord for strength And he gave me difficult tasks Now I have the strength Now I have the strength Now I have the strength

I prayed to God for wisdom And he gave me many problems, Which I have learned to solve Which I have learned to solve Which I have learned to solve

I asked the Lord for progress And the work I found was tough For my body and soul For my body and soul For my body and soul

I asked my God for courage And he gave me many dangers Which I have not succumbed to No I have not succumbed I have not succumbed

I prayed to God for love And he sent me troubled souls To help them on their way To help them every day To help them every day

Instead of mercy and kindness I was given the chance to do good My prayers did not go unheeded I got exactly what I needed I got the chance to do some good

He listened to my prayers O he listened to my prayers He listened to my prayers He listened to my prayers
