NOVENA TO ST. ROSE OF LIMA, V.O.P.

Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, Who wast pleased that blessed Rose, early watered by the dew of thy grace, should flourish in the Indies in all the beauty of virginity and patience, grant unto us, Thy servants, that running in the odor of her sweetness, we may be found worthy to become the good odor of Christ; who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
