Video of Saint Rose of Viterbo
1233-1251
Feast Day of September 4th
She was an Earthly Angel of God that had a deep desire to help the poor.
At a very young age of 10, she became a Secular Franciscan where she preached in the streets about the sufferings of Jesus and about sin.
St. Rose's family supported the Pope during a revolt in Viterbo. Her family was sent away during this time and were not allowed back until the revolt was over between Viterbo and the Pope.
After this, St. Rose spent her days praying and doing penances
in her family home until she died at the young age of 18.
St Rose is like most of us who have tired to do God's will
and then found our earthly failures in life...
She tried to establish a religious community at the age of 15.
Can you imagine today a child of 15 doing this?
We are told that she was much like St. Francis of Assisi who found death to be a
"Gateway to New Life"
St. Rose of Viterbo was canonized in 1457
She is the Patron Saint of those who love flowers: florist and flower growers.
So when you see the beautiful flowers in a garden or flower bed... think of her.
Thought: 💭
Perhaps St. Rose is a good example that we do not have to become founders of organizations or have a huge noted accomplishments here on earth to find favor with God...
BUT WHAT WE DO NEED TO
is...
Spend our time with
The Holy Trinity
Simple and Holy, is a GREATNESS that most do not accomplish.
Be at Peace my Children.
Our Father in Heaven LOVES YOU and HE is waiting for you to
talk with Him today!
🙏
