Patroness of the Americas
There is so much to tell you about this most powerful Saint, and this time in
the history of the Church, and of the world, we don’t know where to start.
These Visionaries, Mystics and Stigmatists have such powerful teachings. We
have tried to focus on the gifts the Saints had been given: their visions,
their mystical experiences, and their sufferings. But what the Lord has to
teach us through their lives is so broad, so all-encompassing, we can’t leave
much of anything out. So bear with us.
Rose Flores, raised to the level of Sainthood, for all the world to know, and
renamed for posterity, St. Rose of Lima, is the first canonized Saint in the
Americas, thus her title, Patroness of the Americas. She was born the product
of two great cultures - the Spanish, who conquered and ruled the New World
and the Inca Indians, a brilliant, comely race of people. Her
great-grandmother was reported to have been of the Inca culture.
