About this ebook
The Incas were not dark-skinned like the Aztec or the American Indian. They were white-skinned. The children born of Spanish and Inca unions were usually breathtakingly beautiful. Rose was a stunning, very fair child with light brown hair. She was part of a trio of powerful men and women in the Church of the early days of Peru. St. Martin de Porres, and St. Toribio de Mongrevo, Archbishop of Lima, were both from the same time period, and from the same city, Lima, Peru. Martin was a very close friend to Rose and Archbishop Toribio baptized and confirmed her.
Rose could very easily have come by her strong faith belief as a result of a Caucasian evangelist who came to the land of the Incas centuries before the Spanish arrived. Legend says that it could have been St. Thomas the Apostle. It could also have been St. Brendan of Ireland, who voyaged up and down the western hemisphere in the Sixth Century. St. Brendan is credited with having brought the Faith to the Mexican Indians. Whatever the case, and whoever the Lord sent to touch the hearts of His children in this, His New World, the evangelist taught the people a set of values very similar to those of the Catholic Church. He taught them about the Cross. He even put a Cross on top of the hill of Cuzco, one of the main cities of Peru.

Saint Rose of Lima
Patroness of the Americas
This is a very difficult chapter, in that there is so much to tell you about this most powerful Saint, and this time in the history of the Church, and of the world, we don’t know where to start. These Visionaries, Mystics and Stigmatists have such powerful teachings. We have tried to focus on the gifts the Saints had been given: their visions, their mystical experiences, and their sufferings. But what the Lord has to teach us through their lives is so broad, so all-encompassing, we can’t leave much of anything out. So bear with us. We have so much to tell you. Rose of Lima is a very important Saint; you’ve got to know all there is to know about her. You will learn from her life, from her experiences, and from the gifts the Lord gave her.
Rose Flores, raised to the level of Sainthood, for all the world to know, and renamed for posterity, St. Rose of Lima, is the first canonized Saint in the Americas, thus her title, Patroness of the Americas. She was born the product of two great cultures - the Spanish, who conquered and ruled the New World and the Inca Indians, a brilliant, comely race of people. Her great-grandmother was reported to have been of the Inca culture.
The Incas were not dark-skinned like the Aztec or the American Indian. They were white-skinned. The children born of Spanish and Inca unions were usually breathtakingly beautiful. Rose was a stunning, very fair child with light brown hair. She was part of a trio of powerful men and women in the Church of the early days of Peru. St. Martin de Porres, and St. Toribio de Mongrevo, Archbishop of Lima, were both from the same time period, and from the same city, Lima, Peru. Martin was a very close friend to Rose and Archbishop Toribio baptized and confirmed her.
Rose could very easily have come by her strong faith belief as a result of a Caucasian evangelist who came to the land of the Incas centuries before the Spanish arrived. Legend says that it could have been St. Thomas the Apostle. It could also have been St. Brendan of Ireland, who voyaged up and down the western hemisphere in the Sixth Century. St. Brendan is credited with having brought the Faith to the Mexican Indians. Whatever the case, and whoever the Lord sent to touch the hearts of His children in this, His New World, the evangelist taught the people a set of values very similar to those of the Catholic Church. He taught them about the Cross. He even put a Cross on top of the hill of Cuzco, one of the main cities of Peru.
Down through the centuries a strain of Catholicism ran all through the Indian religious beliefs. For example, the Incas believed in Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. They had what they called Huacas, Holy Things. They believed in the Resurrection; they fasted; there was a sense of sin; they believed in confession and penance. But after the great evangelist left, they lost the values of
