Saint Rose of Lima was born in Lima, Peru in 1586. She chose to dedicate her life to God as a member of the Third Order Dominican. She lived a life of austerity and prayer, devoting many hours to contemplation and meditation. She also helped the poor and the sick, and became a popular and beloved figure in Lima. After her death in 1617, she was canonized in 1671 and became the first saint in Latin America. She is also the patroness of the Americas and the Philippines.
