Quote:
Lord, increase my sufferings, and with them increase Your love in my heart…
Apart from the cross there is no other ladder by which we may get to Heaven. ~Saint Rose of Lima
Prayer:
Saint Rose of Lima, you fell in love with your Lord at an early age, and from that time could choose no one else. Jesus took your love and transformed you into a beacon of light that shone forth from your small hermitage. Please pray for me, that I may discover what you discovered, so that I will enter more deeply into a life of prayer and penance, and through these practices, enter into union with my Lord. Saint Rose of Lima, pray for me. Jesus I trust in You.
