St. Rose of Viterbo, born in 1235, was one of those child-saints who seemed destined for heaven from an early age. She worked miracles and preached in nearby cities against the depravities of the age. When she asked the abbess of the Poor Clare convent of Our Lady of Roses to enter, the abbess was not inclined to accept such a wonder-worker. Rose said that they would be happy to receive her after she died; which she did, dying at the age of seventeen. Her incorrupt body is in the Church of Santa Rosa.
