Rose of Lima Rose of Lima Saint Rose of Lima, T.O.S.D. (April 20, 1586 – August 24, 1617), was a Spanish colonist in Lima, Peru, who became known for both her life of severe asceticism and her care of the needy of the city through her own private efforts. A lay member of the Dominican Order, she was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized by the Catholic Church. As a saint, Rose of Lima is designated as a co-patroness of the Philippines along with Saint Pudentiana, who were both moved as second-class patronage in September 1942 by Pope Pius XII, but remains the primary patroness of Peru and the indigenous natives of Latin America. 1 Biography She was born Isabel Flores y de Oliva in the city of Lima, then in the Viceroyalty of Peru, on April 20, 1586. She was one of the many children of Gaspar Flores, a harquebusier in the Imperial Spanish army, born in San Germán on the island of San Juan Bautista (now Puerto Rico), and his wife, María de Oliva, a native of Lima. Her later nickname “Rose” comes from an incident in her babyhood: a servant claimed to have seen her face transform into a rose. In 1597 she was confirmed by the Archbishop of Lima, Turibius de Mongrovejo, who was also to be declared a saint. She formally took the name of Rose at that time.[1] Stained glass window by Harry Clarke, depicting St. Rose burn- As a young girl—in emulation of the noted Dominican ing her hands in an act of penance, in St. Michael’s Church, tertiary, St. Catherine of Siena—she began to fast three Ballinasloe, Ireland times a week and performed severe penances in secret.

The Santa Rosa Church, which is located in the town of Arima, was established on April 20, 1786, as the Indian Mission of Santa Rosa de Arima on the foundations of a Capuchin Mission previously established in 1749.[7] St. Rose’s skull, surmounted with a crown of roses, is on public display in the basilica in Lima, Peru, along with that of St. Martin de Porres. It was customary to keep the torso in the basilica and pass the head around the country. 2.1 Patronage Saint Rose is the patroness of the Americas,[1] indigenous Monastery of Saint Rose in 17th-century Lima people of the Americas especially of Lima, Peru; the secondary patroness of the Philippines along with Saint Rose was beatified by Pope Clement IX on May 10, 1667, Pudentiana; of gardeners; of florists; of Sittard, the and canonized on April 12, 1671, by Pope Clement X, the Netherlands; of India. first Catholic in the Americas to be declared a saint.

This liturgical calendar, together with these introductory notes, has been compiled in accordance with the Motu Proprio Rubricarum Instructum issued by Pope B John XXIII on 25th July 1960, the Roman Breviary of 1961 and the Roman Missal of 1962. For the universal calendar that to be found at the beginning of the Roman Breviary and Missal has been used. For the diocesan calendars no such straightforward procedure is possible. The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 26th July 1960 at paragraph (6) required all diocesan calendars to conform with the new rubrics and be approved by that Congregation. The diocesan calendars in use on 1st January 1961 (the date set for the new rubrics to come into force) were substantially those previously in use but with varying adjustments and presumably as yet to re-approved. Indeed those calendars in use immediately prior to that date were by no means identical to those previously approved by the Congregation, since there had been various changes to the rubrics made by Pope Pius XII. Hence it is not a simple matter to ascertain in complete and exact detail the classifications and dates of all diocesan feasts as they were, or should have been, observed at 1st January 1961.

  • Rose of Lima: Some Thoughts on Purity and Penance*
    Rose of Lima: some thoughts on purity and penance* SARA MAITLAND Rose of Lima was born in Peru in 1586 and died in 1617 at the age of thirty-one. She was canonised in 1671 ± the first American-born saint of the Roman Catholic Calendar ± and was named principal patron of South America and the Philippines. She remains a popular saint, not just in her native Peru, but until very recently in Europe also. There are innumerable holy cards and representations of her. She is usually shown wearing a religious habit (although she was never a nun) and either surrounded by or wearing garlands of roses. She has a modest expression and a pale sweet face. Infantilized, she used to appear regularly in hagiographical volumes, especially those designed for the edification of small girls. All this is extremely odd. It has very little to do with her life, and they would be bizarre parents or catechetists who really wanted the girls in their charge to emulate Rose of Lima in any very direct way. Although such volumes endeavour valiantly to stress her various charitable works, especially among the enslaved and oppressed Indians, and her experiences of a mystical marriage to Christ, Rose of Lima's real claim to fame and sanctity was the extraordinary life of violent and self-inflicted penance which she maintained from extremely early in her childhood until she died. It was no less astonishing that she should find room on her emaciated body to engrave in it, by her discipline, the wounds of the son of God ..

  • Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages
    Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages The Monks and Monasteries of the early Middle Ages played a critical roal in the preservation and promotion of Christian culture. The accomplishments of the monks, especially during the 'Dark Ages', are too numerous to list. They were the both missionaries and custodians of Catholic culture for generations, and the monastic reforms of the tenth century paved the way for the reforms of the secular clergy that followed. By the beginning of the 13th century, however, there was seen a need for a new type of religious community, and thus were born the Mendicant Orders. The word 'Mendicant' means beggar, and this was due to the fact that the Mendicant Friars, in contrast to the Benedictine Monks, lived primarily in towns, rather than on propertied estates. Since they did not own property, they were not beholden to secular rulers and were free to serve the poor, preach the gospel, and uphold Christian ideals without compromise. The Investiture Controversy of the previous century, and the underlying problems of having prelates appointed by and loyal to local princes, was one of the reasons for the formation of mendicant orders. Even though monks took a vow of personal poverty, they were frequently members of wealthy monasteries, which were alway prone to corruption and politics. The mendicant commitment to poverty, therefore, prohibited the holding of income producing property by the orders, as well as individuals. The poverty of the mendicant orders gave them great freedom, in the selection of their leaders, in the their mobility, and in their active pursuits.

    The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium trans. with an introduction by Benjamin T. G. Mayes October 2001 Source: Wilhelm Loehe, Martyrologium. Zur Erklärung der herkömmlichen Kalendernamen. (Nürnberg: Verlag von Gottfr. Löhe, 1868). Introduction. Loehe's Martyrologium of 1868 was not his first attempt at a Lutheran sanctoral calendar. Already in 1859, he had his Haus-, Schul- und Kirchenbuch für Christen des lutherischen Bekenntnisses printed, in which he included a sanctoral calendar which was different in many ways from his later, corrected version. The earlier calendar contained many more names, normally at least two names per day. Major feasts were labelled with their Latin names. But the earlier calendar also had errors. Many dates were marked with a question mark. A comparison of the two calendars shows that in the earlier calendar, Loehe had mistaken Cyprian the Sorcerer (Sept. 26) with Cyprian of Carthage. On the old calendar's April 13th, Hermenegild was a princess. In the new one, he's a prince. In the earlier calendar, Hildegard the Abbess (Sept. 17) was dated in the 300's. In the new one, she is dated 1179. In fact, in the later calendar, I would suppose that half of the dates have been changed. Loehe was conscious of the limitations of his calendar. He realized especially how difficult the selection of names was. His calendar contains the names of many Bavarian saints. This is to be expected, considering the fact that his parish, Neuendettelsau, is located in Bavaria. Loehe gave other reasons for the selection of names in his Martyrologium: "The booklet follows the old calendar names.

    The Holy See DISCURSO DEL SANTO PADRE JUAN PABLO II AL SEÑOR AUGUSTO ANTONIOLI VÁSQUEZ NUEVO EMBAJADOR DE PERÚ ANTE LA SANTA SEDE* Lunes 18 de diciembre de 1995 Mr. Ambassador, I. It gives me great pleasure to receive the Letters you present accrediting you as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Peru to the Holy See. As I welcome you, I would like to thank you for your kind words as well as for the attentive greeting which your President, Mr. Alberto Fujimori, has wished to convey to me through you and to which I respond by asking you kindly to express my best wishes for peace and well-being to him. 2. You have come in order to represent a nation that has enjoyed and is enjoying the widespread and deeply-rooted presence of the Catholic faith in the life of its citizens. Many strong ties exist which have always linked Peru with the Church and have shaped the life and feelings of its people. In this regard, I am pleased to recall the luminous examples of holiness which your country has offered the Church and humanity: St Rose of Lima and St Martin de Porres, St Toribio de Mogrovejo, St John Macias and St Francis Solano, Blessed Ana de Monteagudo and others. Moreover, the Church in this nation, under her Pastors' wise and prudent guidance, is now working steadfastly to ensure that the moral values and the Christian concept of life continue to inspire all those who, in one way or another, are striving to improve their homeland.
