Born in 1586 in the vibrant city of Lima, Peru, Rose was a beacon of light in a land waiting to be awakened by the faith of Christ. As the daughter of Caspar de Flores and Maria del Oliva, she may have had a simple upbringing, but her life was destined for extraordinary greatness.
With a heart reminiscent of St. Catherine of Siena, Rose faced opposition and ridicule from her family and friends as she set her sights on a life of faith. Undeterred, she followed her calling, overcoming challenges that seemed impossible.
Rose's humility and obedience shone brightly, even when faced with trials and contradictions from those who misunderstood her. She fearlessly stood up for what she believed in, and her unwavering devotion to God was evident in every word she spoke. Her connection with the Blessed Sacrament radiated a profound love that captured the hearts of all who encountered her.
