The Saint of Lost Causes

My daughter, Rachel, attends a Catholic School called St. Rita. Recently, I asked her what St. Rita is the saint "of". Yesterday she reported to me, excitedly, that St. Rita is the Saint of the spouses of alcoholics. Today, when I googled St. Rita, I found that, more exactly, she is the Saint of impossible causes. Hmmmph! If that doesn't say a mouthful! How grateful I am--just for today--to not be lost. To be found. To be free.
