Church of SS. Cosmas and Damian St. Rose of Lima Virgin
|
| History: Saint Rose was born at
Lima, Peru in 1586. She led a virtuous life at home and, after receiving the
habit of the Third Order of St. Dominic, she made great progress in a life
of penance and contemplation. She died August 24, 1617. Her feast is
celebrated on August 23rd. Prayer: God our Father, for love of you Saint Rose gave up everything to devote herself to a life of penance. By the help of her prayers may we imitate her selfless way of life on earth and enjoy the fullness of your blessings in heaven. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
