The story for children 10 and up of St.
Rose of Lima, who became a hermit in her own home--rather than go to a convent--and how she became a great Saint.
At her confirmation in 1597, she took the name of Rose, because, when an infant, her face had been seen transformed by a mystical rose.
As a child she was remarkable for a great reverence, and pronounced love, for all things relating to God.
