| | Catholic Fire: Saint of the Day: St. Rose of Viterbo, Virgin |
 | | Saint Rose was born in the spring of 1235 at Viterbo, capital of the patrimony of Saint Peter. |
 | | When hardly ten years old, she arose after her reception into the Franciscan habit, went down to the public square at Viterbo, called upon the inhabitants to be faithful to the Sovereign Pontiff, and vehemently denounced all his opponents. |
 | | Rose fell ill again and recognized that her end was approaching; she prepared, rejoicing, in solitude for her glorious destiny, and died in her eighteenth year. |
