Saint Rose of Viterbo was an Italian virgin who devoted her short life to prayer, penance, and the defense of the Catholic faith. Born in Viterbo, she received a deep love for Christ and for the Church while still a child.
During the conflict between the papacy and the supporters of Emperor Frederick II, Rose preached repentance and loyalty to the Church despite opposition and exile. She returned to Viterbo and died there as a young woman. The faithful soon honored her holiness, and her body is venerated in the monastery of the Poor Clares.
