The Precious Pearl: The Story of Saint Rita of Cascia Paperback – December 2, 2002

I am catholic and it was very important to me, to get this book. I want to thank the seller for their fast response concerning an issue with the delivery, that was actually reported by the carrier in error. (to be expected due to the corona virus circumstances).

Such a beautiful story and book. So happy I purchased it

If you like this Catholic saint this is a book to have it. We love Saint Rita of Cascia and we love the book.

This booklet made an excellent gift. It was extremely well packaged and easy to wrap and give. The recipient seemed to enjoy receiving it.

Very informative for such a small book. Told me all I wanted to know about who St Rita of Cascia was.

Fast delivery, item as promised!

I expected more of her pre-nun life so I was disappointed.

This is a good book with my only, and pretty huge, complaint that it gives the wrong account of how she entered the convent. In the book on St. Rita by Fr Joseph Sicardo, he explains that her entrance was miraculous. St John, Nicholas and Augustine appeared to her and walked her back to the convent that just rejected her three times. They went through the convent walls and they then told her, "Rita, remain a rational bee in the garden of the Spouse whom you have so long and ardently loved, so that, collecting the flowers of virtues, you may build a sweet honeycomb. You are now in the house of your Spouse, Jesus. Love Him with all your heart and soul and your eternal salvation in secure. Return thanks to God for so great a favor done on your behalf. Praise His infinite mercy and publish that there is nothing impossible to God. Rita, the impossible is overcome in your behalf." It's so crucial because this is part of why she's the patron for impossible causes. This book also makes it sound like going into the convent after the death if her husband and children was an afterthought....but it was what she always longed for. Anyway, I just don't love the book for those reasons.
