De joven, Rita sufrio fuertes dolores abdominales que los medicos pensaron que se debian a un “problema de los nervios”, pero sus sintomas desaparecieron cuando una mistica de su localidad rezo por ella. Al darse cuenta del poder de la oracion, Rita juro dedicar su vida a Dios y se hizo monja de clausura, con la esperanza de pasar toda su existencia lejos del mundo.
