St. Rose of Lima

St. Rose of Lima was a 17th-century Peruvian saint known for her deep faith, piety, and dedication to God. She lived a life of prayer, austerity, and service, often fasting and wearing simple clothes to imitate Christ’s suffering. Despite her quiet life, she became an important spiritual figure and was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized as a saint. She is honored as the patroness of Peru and Latin America, inspiring many with her commitment to holiness, humility, and caring for those in need.
