ST. ROSA, OF VITERBO, VIRGIN.

FROM her childhood she addicted herself entirely to the practice of

mortification and assiduous prayer; she was favored with the gift of

miracles, and an extraordinary talent of converting the most hardened

sinners. She professed the third rule of St. Francis, living always in

the house of her father in Viterbo, where she died in 1261. See Wading's

Annals, and Barbaza, Vies des SS. du Tiers Ordre, t. 2, p. 77.
