Saint Report
I chose Saint Rose of Lima as my
Confirmation Saint. She was born in Peru, South America and also died there.
Her death was in 1617 when she was only thirty-one. Saint Rose is the Patroness
of South America. She was also the first saint of the Americas.
Rose was always a good person. She was
very obedient to her parents and always did tasks with a smiling face. She was
always trying to please others. Rose was a beautiful girl. Her mother wanted
her to wear pretty clothes but she said that only beauty of the soul is
worthwhile. When a man wanted to marry her; to give her a large home with
servants, she refused because she only wanted to love and serve God. Rose was
always good to her parents. When they lost all of their money she went out to
work every day to help them. She also went to the homes of the poor and brought
them food.
She was definitely seen as a saint
in her own time. She was always helping others and never doing anything wrong.
Rose cared about everyone; good or bad. Often times the Lord appeared to her to
tell her how pleased He was with her and her kind deeds.
I chose Saint Rose of Lima because
I’ve always wanted to be like her. I used to look through the book of saints
when I was a little girl and she always stood out. I liked the name, but it was
more about her actions as to why I chose her. Rose was actually going to be my
middle name, but my parents changed it to Elizabeth. Also my grandmothers saint
name was Rose. I’d give anything to be like my grandmother; she was much like
Saint Rose. Always caring and passionate for everything.
I learned that not only was Saint
Rose of Lima kind to people, but she was kind to animals too. I learned that I
am more like Rose than I thought. I am extremely passionate for animals. I’ve
always dreamed of being a veterinarian in the future. I also would give
anything and everything to please my family and friends. Those three things are
what I always put first. I am ready to make this change in my life and be
inspired by Saint Rose!
Ps Today-August 23rd, 2012---is
the feast day of Saint Rose of Lima
