Rose di Santa Rita da Cascia – Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Roses of Saint Rita of Cascia – A Painting by Dino Carbetta” ...
Saint Rita of Cascia, bedridden in the convent, was visited by a cousin from Roccaporena near the end of her life. Asking if she desired anything from home, Rita humbly requested a rose from the family garden. It was January, and the request seemed impossible. Yet, when her cousin returned home, a single rose bloomed amidst the winter frost—a miraculous sign of God’s grace. She brought it back to Rita, who received it with gratitude and devotion. Roses represent Saint Rita's intercession, depicted in her imagery and blessed by priests on her feast day as a sign of her enduring presence. Born in 1381, Saint Rita’s life was marked by suffering and unwavering faith. From a young age, she longed to dedicate herself to God in a convent, but her parents arranged her marriage to a harsh and violent man. For eighteen years, she endured his cruelty with patience and love, raising two sons in the light of faith. After the tragic deaths of her husband and children, she sought refuge in the Augustinian convent of Cascia. Initially denied entry due to her widowhood, her perseverance and holiness ultimately secured her place among the sisters. Rita's deep devotion to Christ through prayer made her a beacon of hope. She selflessly cared for the sick, guided the troubled, and embraced penance. In deep contemplation of Christ’s Passion, she received a mystical wound on her forehead, a divine mark of her union with His suffering. This painting captures the profound beauty of Saint Rita’s faith and the miraculous roses that have become a symbol of her enduring grace. Today, the Basilica of Saint Rita stands as a sanctuary of faith. Thousands of pilgrims journey to Cascia, seeking her intercession and finding peace in her sacred presence. Through this artwork, viewers are invited into the holy atmosphere of Cascia, where faith, resilience, and divine grace bloom like the miraculous rose of Saint Rita.
