Admirable Saint Rose, thou wert truly
a sweet flower blooming
on a rugged soil: thou wert indeed a
rose
among thorns, bearing with meekness
and patience the stings of envious
tongues,
and preserving perfect purity and
modesty
amid the alluring blandishments of a
deceitful world.
By the merits which thou hast thus
gained
with our Divine Lord, obtain for me
the grace to bear afflictions with
patience,
to remain pure and modest,
to be meek and humble,
and to be faithful to the inspirations
of the Holy Spirit, so that I may be
ever pleasing and acceptable in the
sight of
my dear Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
