Pray for me, that I may be as tireless in my efforts toward holiness as you were. Despite these difficulties, you chose to serve God virtuously.
You forgave your persecutors. Pray that I may never weary of seeking holiness at every opportunity in my life. I ask Zita, patron saint of domestic servants and homemakers, to intercede for the members of my family and friends who are responsible for household tasks and raising children. You chose to serve God through your service to others. Help us to imitate the holiness she showed throughout her many years of hard work, forgiveness, and charity. It was once told, that when St Zita became engrossed in prayer in the local Church, at a time when she should have been baking bread, she returned to the kitchen to find the bread already baked. She believed that “a servant was not holy if she was not busy; laziness was fake holiness”. St. Zita is also a great saint to seek intercession from if you are being ridiculed for your Faith. In your high domestic position, you had the opportunity to give to those who were in need. At 12yrs, she became a humble servant to the rich Fatinelli weaver household, citizens of Lucca in Italy, a role she remained in for the rest of her life, forty-eight years.
