  Saint Rose of Lima
Virgin ( 1617 Anno Domini A.D.)        Feast: 23 August

This little girl is an American saint. She was born in Lima in Peru . Columbus had discovered America less than 100 years before. Her name was really Isabel . But she was so beautiful that people called her Rose  Her parents were poor. So little Rose became a maid servant. Everybody noticed how beautiful she was

Saint Rose was afraid. Perhaps her good looks might lead her into sin   So she cut her lovely hair  She worked until her hands were rough. She wore old, unattractive clothes. She wanted her soul to be beautiful. Only God could see that. Then she decided to become a Dominican nun  So many people around her were sinful. Rose wanted to do penance for their sins. She lived in a little hut  She slept on the floor. She begged God to forgive sinners

When the fleet of her country's enemies attacked  Peru , her prayers drove them away & saved her city. When she died, all Peru wept for the little Rose they loved
