St. Rose of Lima from a very early age devoted herself to Our Lord. She came from a noteworthy, but poor, Peruvian family with numerous children. She was quite beautiful but did her best to scar her face with chili and lye so that she would not be attractive. She moved into a small shed in her parent's garden and devoted her time to prayer, severe penances, embroidery and gardening, both of which she used to earn money for the family as well as to support other poor people. She entered the Dominican Order as a tertiary and spent her life doing good works, prayer and severe penances, deprivations and mortification that eventually took her to an early death.
