Synopsis "Saints and Servants of God: The Lives of S. Rose of Lima, Bl. Colomba di Rieti, and of S. Juliana Falconieri (in English)"
Saint Rose of Lima and Blessed Colomba di Rieti were spiritual daughters of S. Catherine of Siena, and Dominicans sisters of the Third order, virgin penitents who followed St. Catherine's spirituality very closely and with similar results. The Lives of St. Rose of Lima, the Blessed Colomba of Rieti and of St. Juliana Falconieri , was originally published in London by Thomas Richardson and Son in 1863 a part of a series initiated by and edited by Frederick Faber of the Orator. This edition has been re-typeset and enhanced with one hundred thirty-three images. In the centuries immediately following her death St. Rose in particular captured the interest and imagination of the Church, especially in Latin America. We have only been able to capture a fraction of the art which her life inspired. Incredibly, doing full justice to that out-pouring would require a volume of three hundred pages or more. The sketches in S. Rose's biography are taken mostly from Michael A. Fuentes, Lima, Sketches of the Capital of Peru and are intended to be evocative of Lima as St. Rose would have known it. Therefore, the persons sketched are types rather than persons known to St. Rose. The paintings devoted to her endeavor ro capture her spiritual life and Heavenly destiny, but Lima was -per the sketches- a very earthy place, the place where she nevertheless became a great saint. There is little art devoted to Blessed. Colomba, and practically all dedicated to S. Juliana recalls the remarkable circumstance oi her death.
