St. Rose of Lima: The Flower of the New World
'St. Rose of Lima: The Flower of the New World' Summary
St. Rose of Lima, born Isabel Flores de Oliva in 1586, was a Spanish colonist in Lima, Peru, who dedicated her life to religious devotion and service to the needy. From a young age, Rose exhibited a deep faith and a desire to live a life of poverty and penance. She joined the Dominican Order as a lay member and spent her days in prayer, fasting, and caring for the sick and marginalized in Lima. Despite facing opposition and criticism, Rose remained steadfast in her beliefs and continued to provide assistance to those in need. Her unwavering dedication and acts of charity earned her a reputation for holiness, and she became known as the "Flower of the New World." Rose's life of asceticism and service inspired others, and she was eventually canonized as the first person born in the Americas to be recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. Her legacy continues to serve as a testament to the power of faith and the importance of serving others.Book Details
