Upon the death of a \nyoung man who had been paying court to her, she entered a convent, but after a few months had to return home to look \nafter her widowed mother. Rose use to gather the women and girls of the neighborhood to say the rosary together in the \nevenings, and when she found how ignorant many of them were of their religion, she began to instruct them. She was \ndirected by Father Ignatius Martinelli, a Jesuit, who convinced her that her vocation was as a teacher \"in the world\" \nrather than as a contemplative in a convent; whereupon in 1685, with two helpers, Rose opened a preschool for girls in \nViterbo: it soon became a success. Blessed Rose had the gift of ready and persuasive speech, and a real ability to teach \nand to teach others to teach, and was not daunted by any difficulty when the service of God was in question. Her \nreputation spread, and in 1692, she was invited by Cardinal Barbarigo to advise and help in the training of teachers and \norganizing of schools in his diocese of Montefiascone. Here she was the mentor and friend of Lucy Filippini, who became \nfoundress of an institute of maestre pie and was canonized in 1930. Rose organized a number of schools in various \nplaces, sometimes in the face of opposition that resorted to force in unbelievable fashion - the teachers were shot at \nwith bows and their house fired. Her patience and trust overcame all obstacles, and in 1713 she made a foundation in \nRome that received the praise of Pope Clement XI himself. It was in Rome that she died, on May 7, 1728; her reputation \nof holiness was confirmed by miracles and in 1952, she was beatified. It was not until sometime after her death that \nBlessed Rose's lay school teachers were organized as a religious congregation: they are found in America as well as in \nItaly, for the Venerini Sisters have worked among Italian immigrants since early in the twentieth century. Her feast day \nis May 7\nDaily fasting turned to perpetual abstinence from meat. Her days were filled with acts of charity and industry. Rose \nhelped the sick and hungry around her community. She would bring them to her home and take care of them. Rose sold her \nfine needlework, grew beautiful flowers, and would take them to market to help her family. Her exquisite lace and \nembroidery helped to support her home, while her nights were devoted to prayer and penance in a little grotto which she \nhad built. She became a recluse leaving the grotto only for her visits to the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nShe took the name of Rose at her confirmation in 1597. In her twentieth year she had so attracted the attention of the \nDominican Order that she was permitted to enter a Dominican convent in 1602 without payment of the usual dowry. She \ndonned the habit and took a vow of perpetual virginity.\n\nFor eleven years this self-martyrdom continued without relaxation, with intervals of ecstasy, until she died on August \n30, 1617, at the age of 31. Her funeral was attended by all the public authorities of Lima, and the archbishop \npronounced her eulogy in the cathedral.","brand":"Picturesongold","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867378430105,"sku":"88244-230894-PSS","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867378397337,"sku":"88244-230895-PSS","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867378364569,"sku":"88244-230896-PSS","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867378528409,"sku":"88244-230894","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867378495641,"sku":"88244-230895","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867378462873,"sku":"88244-230896","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867378626713,"sku":"88244-230900","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867378561177,"sku":"88244-230904","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867378593945,"sku":"88244-230907","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867378659481,"sku":"88244-230898","price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867378692249,"sku":"88244-230901","price":269.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867378725017,"sku":"88244-230906","price":349.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867378790553,"sku":"88244-230899","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867378823321,"sku":"88244-230903","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867378757785,"sku":"88244-230908","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867378888857,"sku":"88244-230897","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867378921625,"sku":"88244-230902","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867378856089,"sku":"88244-230905","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/3510\/4921\/files\/gp_kez0t_88244_1438283076.jpg?v=1786553190"}],"url":"https:\/\/aliviadanny.com\/collections\/saint-rosa-venerini-medals.oembed","provider":"Alivia \u0026 Danny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
