After donning the habit of a Dominican Tertiary in 1606, Rose retreats to a hut, subjecting herself to severe penances, such as a crown of thorns hidden beneath a silver band. The text explores her burning love for God, which manifested in visible changes in her voice and face. For fifteen years, the saint faced misunderstanding from friends and acquaintances, profound spiritual desolation, and violent temptations from the devil. After being examined by a commission of priests and physicians who ruled that her experiences were of supernatural origin, she spent her final years in the home of Don Gonzalo de Massa, where she passed away in 1617, asking God to increase her sufferings in proportion to her love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSpiritual martyrdom and penance as a path to holiness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe struggle against temptation and inner desolation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReligious vocation and the contemplative life in colonial Peru.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDivine love as a transformative force and source of suffering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe recognition of holiness through ecclesiastical examination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is recommended for readers interested in Spanish Golden Age classic theater, hagiography and the lives of saints, as well as for those who study the history of spirituality and religious literature in Latin America.

The piece stands out for its ability to dramatize the tension between human suffering and mystical experience. Its value lies as much in its literary interest as in its contribution to the knowledge of the figure of Saint Rose of Lima, presented not only as a saint, but as a complex character in struggle with herself and her surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LINKGUA EDICIONES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405878583643,"sku":"9788411262613","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841126261.jpg?v=1781833994","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788411262613","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
