ROSA OF LIMA, Santa,
Peruvian nun, born in Lima, 30 April, 1586: died there, 24 August, 1617. Her
secular name was Isabel Flores, and she was the daughter of a member of the
viceroval guard of arquebusiers.
She showed great piety in early life, and, to avoid hearing
the praises of her beauty, disfigured her face with oil of vitriol. By her
exemplary conduct she won the admiration of the church authorities, and was
permitted to enter a convent without the usual dowry. She united with the
Dominican order in 1602, and led for fifteen years an austere life, which
brought about her early death. Her funeral was attended by all the authorities
of Lima, and the archbishop pronounced a panegyric on her in the cathedral, 26
August, 1617.
Soon after her death, efforts were made by the Peruvian
church to push claims for her canonization, and it was decreed by Clement X in
1671. See "Vita Sanctae Rosae," by the Dominican Hansen (2 vols., Rome,
1664-'8), and "Concentus Dominicano, Bononiensis ecclesia, in album Sanctorum
Ludovici Bertrandi et Rosae de Sancta Maria, ordinero praedicatorum," by Vicente
Orsini, afterward Pope Benedict XIII. (Venice, 1674).
