We have gathered today to venerate the relics of this Peruvian saint. Contemplating a small part of her body in a small urn, it reminds us that our human frailty has been assumed in the Incarnation. Also, by recognizing the goodness of her life, we recognize the holiness of God.
Tonight our parish "Heart of Mary" has received her as special grace and we recognized in Rosa a brave, humble and charitable woman who knew how to be LIGHT in a historical moment of Lima, the city of that time. She challenges us today to walk paths of love, proclaiming and living the Gospel.
Rose of Saint Mary continues her pilgrimage
July 1, 2017
This morning, with a Eucharist presided by Fr. Juan de Dios Rojas, from the diocesan clergy and Fr. Pacífico, Conventual Franciscan friar, and the presence of religious from other Congregations, we thanked the Lord for these days of intense prayer and for the environment which called us to deepen in spirituality.
During the Mass, along with our prayer for the Church, the Dominican Family, the Congregation, the vocations and needs of the world, we placed on the altar the health situation of many of our sisters. In Peru, Rose of Lima is the patroness of the nurses. August 30 is their feast.
On August 17 and 18, the community of our elderly sisters, in Chaclacayo will receive the relics, and the parish school of Callao on August 28.
