Saint Rose of Lima “forever young” at the heart of the Church 

“Rose is the forever young Saint, the one who has inspired sympathy and empathy in millions of faithful not only in Peru, but throughout the entire New World; everywhere her example and her renown are widespread.” These were the words of Sr. Raffaella Petrini, President of the Governorate of Vatican City State, during the conference entitled “Saint Rose of Lima, the First Saint of the New World: Contemporary Reflections,” held on Tuesday afternoon, January 27, in the Aula Magna of the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.
