Born as Margherita Lotti, St. Rita's original goal was to become a nun, but was forced into marriage and raised twin sons, until their deaths. After several attempts, she was accepted into the Augustinian nun convent, where she lived for over 40 years. She received a spiritual vision in which she received a forehead wound similar to Jesus's after wearing his thorned crown, which was said to bleed for 15 years.
