Prayer to Saint Rose of Lima

Patroness of the Americas, Philippines, India, Peru, and of Gardeners, Florists, Needle-Workers, and against Vanity.
Feast Day: 23 August

God our Father,
for love of you Saint Rose gave up everything
to devote herself to a life of penance.

By the help of her prayers may we imitate her selfless way of life on earth and enjoy the fullness of your blessings in heaven.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Saint Therese
