Admirable Saint Rose, you were truly a sweet flower blooming on a rugged soil.
You were indeed a rose among thorns, bearing, with meekness and patience, the stings of envious tongues, while preserving perfect purity and modesty amid the alluring blandishments of a deceitful world.
To the sufferings inflicted on you by others, St Rose of Lima, you added the voluntary tortures of fasting and watching, of a crown of thorns and of a hair shirt, to subdue the flesh and to make yourself like your heavenly Spouse.
By the merits you gained with your Divine Bridegroom, obtain for me the grace to bear my afflictions with patience, to remain pure and modest, to be meek and humble, to be faithful to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, and so to mortify my passions that I may be ever more pleasing and acceptable in the sight of my dear Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns world without end.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Amen.
St Rose of Lima, Pray for us.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary Glory Be
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
