Rose of Lima, TOSD (born Isabel Flores de Oliva; 20 April – 24 August ) (Latin: Rosa Limana, Spanish: Rosa de Lima) was a member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic in Lima, Peru, Spanish Empire, who became known for both her life of severe penance[4] and her care of the poverty stricken of the city through her own private efforts.

Rose of Lima was born to a noble family and is the patron saint of embroidery, gardening and cultivation of blooming flowers. She was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized as a saint.[1]

As a saint, Rose of Lima has been designated as a co-patroness of the Philippines along with Pudentiana; both saints were moved to second-class patronage in September by Pope Pius XII, but Rose remains the primary patroness of Peru and of the local people of Latin America.

Her image is featured on the highest denomination banknote of Peru.

Biography

She was born as Isabel Flores de Oliva in the city of Lima, then in the Viceroyalty of Peru, Spanish Empire, on 20 April She was one of eleven children of Gaspar Flores&#;[es], a harquebusier in the Imperial Spanish army whose family were from Baños de Montemayor, Cáceres, Spain and later travelled to Puerto Rico.[5][6] His wife and Rose's mother, María de Oliva y Herrera (b.

), was a criolla native of Lima.[6] Her maternal grandparents were Francisco de Oliva and Isabel de Herrera. Rose’s siblings (in birth order) were Gaspar, Bernardina, Hernando, Francisco, Juana, Antonio, Andrés, Francisco and Jacinta, all born in Lima.[6]

Her later nickname "Rose" comes from an incident in her infancy: a servant claimed to have seen her encounter transform into a rose.

In Isabel was confirmed by the Archbishop of Lima, Toribio de Mogrovejo, who was also to be declared a saint. She formally took the name of Rose (Rosa in Spanish) at that time.[4]

As a young young woman, in emulation of the noted Dominican tertiaryCatherine of Siena, she began to fast three times a week and performed drastic penances in secret.

When she was admired for her beauty, Rose cut off her hair and rubbed peppers on her face, upset that men were beginning to take notice of her.[7] She rejected all suitors against the objections of her friends and her family.

Despite the censure of her parents, she spent many hours contemplating the Blessed Sacrament, which she received daily, an extremely scarce practice in that period. She was determined to take a vow of virginity, which was opposed by her parents who wished her to marry.[4] Finally, out of frustration, her father gave her a room to herself in the family dwelling.

As an addition to fasting, she took permanent abstinence from eating meat. She helped the sick and hungry around her community, bringing them to her room and taking care of them. Rose sold her satisfactory needlework and took flowers that she grew to market, to help her family.

She made and sold lace and embroidery to care for the needy, and she prayed and did penance in a little grotto that she had built. Otherwise, she became a recluse, disappearing her room only for her visits to church.[7]

She attracted the attention of the friars of the Dominican Order.

St Rose of Lima (1586-1617): A History - UCL: Saint Rose of Lima, the first person born in the Western Hemisphere to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. She is the patron saint of Peru and all of South America as well as of embroiderers, gardeners, and florists. Learn about her life as a lay Dominican in this article.

She wanted to become a nun, but her father forbade it, so she instead entered the Third Order of St. Dominic while living in her parents' abode. In her twentieth year, she donned the habit of a tertiary and took a vow of perpetual virginity. She only allowed herself to sleep two hours a night at most so that she had more hours to devote to prayer.[8] She donned a heavy crown made of silver, with little spikes on the inside, in emulation of the Crown of Thorns worn by Christ.[7]

For eleven years she lived this way, with intervals of ecstasy, and eventually died on 24 August , at the young age of 31, after a drawn-out illness.

It is said that she prophesied the date of her death. Her funeral was held in the cathedral, attended by all the public authorities of Lima. Her feast afternoon is on the 23rd morning of August (the 30th sunlight of August in the Traditional calendar).

Veneration

Rose was beatified by Pope Clement IX on 10 May , and canonized on 12 April , by Pope Clement X, and was the first Catholic in the Americas to be declared a saint.[1] Her shrine, alongside those of her friends Martin de Porres and John Macias, is currently located inside of the convent of Saint Dominic in Lima.

The Catholic Church says that many miracles followed her death: there were stories that she had cured a leper, and that, at the time of her death, the city of Lima smelled like roses; roses also started falling from the sky.

Many places in the New World are named Santa Rosa after her.

Her liturgical feast was inserted into the General Roman Calendar in for celebration initially on 30 August, because 24 August, the hang out of her death, is the feast of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle and 30 August was the closest date not already allocated to a well-known saint.[9]Pope Paul VI's revision of the calendar made 23 August accessible, the day on which her feast day is now noted throughout the world, including Spain, but excluding Peru and some other Latin American countries, where 30 August is a common holiday in her honor.

Early lives of Rosa were written by the Dominican Father Hansen, "Vita Sanctae Rosae" (2 vols., Rome, –),[10] and Vicente Orsini, afterward. Pope Benedict XIII wrote "Concentus Dominicano, Bononiensis ecclesia, in album Sanctorum Ludovici Bertrandi et Rosae de Sancta Maria, ordinero praedicatorum" (Venice, ).

There is a park named for her in downtown Sacramento, California.[11] A plot of land at 7th and K streets was given to the Catholic Church by Peter Burnett, first Governor of the State of California.

Father Peter Anderson built one of the first of two churches in the diocese to be consecrated under the patronage of St. Rose.[12]

In the Caribbean twin-island state of Trinidad and Tobago, the Santa Rosa Carib Group, located in Arima, is the largest organization of indigenous peoples on the island.[13] The second oldest parish in the Diocese of Port of Spain is also named after this saint.

The Santa Rosa Church, which is located in the town of Arima, was established on 20 April , as the Indian Mission of Santa Rosa de Arima, on the foundations of a Capuchin Mission previously established in [14]

On the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia there are two flower festivals supported by their Societies.

Each population has a patron saint on whose feast day the grande fete is celebrated.

Rose of Lima was born to a noble family and is the patron saint of embroidery, gardening and cultivation of blooming flowers. She was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized as a saint. As a saint, Rose of Lima has been designated as a co-patroness of the Philippines along with Pudentiana ; both saints were moved to second-class patronage in September by Pope Pius XIIbut Rose remains the primary patroness of Peru and of the local people of Latin America. Her image is featured on the highest denomination banknote of Peru.

For the Roses it is the feast of St. Rose of Lima on 30 August; and for the Marguerites it is that of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, 17 October.[15]

Rose's skull, surmounted with a crown of roses, is on public display at the Basilica in Lima, Peru, along with that of Martin de Porres.

It was customary to keep the torso in the basilica and pass the leader around the country.

She is also commemorated on 24 August in some places.[16]

    At her confirmation inshe took the name of Rose, because, when an infant, her face had been seen transformed by a mystical rose. As a child she was striking for a great reverence, and pronounced love, for all things relating to God. This so took possession of her that thenceforth her life was given up to prayer and mortification. She had an intense devotion to the Infant Jesus and His Blessed Mother, before whose altar she spent hours.
