Ingcwele yokuqala ye-New World ene-canonised inesimo sabo bonke abangcwele - ukuhlupheka kokuphikiswa - - - - - - - - - - nolunye uphawu oludume kakhulu kunokubusiswa: umkhuba owedlulele wokuziphatha kabi.
Wazalelwa kubazali abadabuka eSpain eLima, ePeru ngesikhathi lapho iNingizimu Melika yayisekuqaleni kwekhulu lokuqala lokushunyayelwa kwevangeli. Kubukeka sengathi uthathe uCatherine waseSiena njengesibonelo, naphezu kokuphikiswa nokugconwa kwabazali nabangane.
Abangcwele banothando olukhulu ngoNkulunkulu kangangokuba okubonakala kungenangqondo kithina, futhi empeleni kwesinye isikhathi kuyinto engenangqondo, kumane kungukuqedwa okungenangqondo kwenkolelo yokuthi noma yini engabeka engcupheni ubudlelwane obunothando noNkulunkulu kumele isuswe. . Ngakho-ke, njengoba ubuhle bakhe babuvame ukuthandwa kakhulu, uRose wayevame ukubuthinta ubuso bakhe nopelepele ukukhiqiza amabala amtoti. Kamuva, wagqoka isicoco esikhulu sesiliva, esifakwe ngaphakathi, njengomqhele wameva.
Lapho abazali bakhe bethola ubunzima bezimali, wasebenza engadini usuku lonke futhi uthunga ebusuku. Iminyaka eyishumi yokulwa nabazali bakhe yaqala lapho bezama ukuthi uRose ashade. Babenqabile ukumngenisa ekhayeni lezindela futhi ngenxa yokulalela waqhubeka nempilo yakhe yokuziphendulela nokuhlala yedwa njengelungu le-Order Lesithathu laseSan Domenico. Isifiso sakhe sokuphila impilo kaKristu sasisikhulu kangangokuba wasebenzisa isikhathi sakhe esiningi ekhaya eyedwa.
Eminyakeni yokugcina yokuphila kwakhe, uRose wamisa ikamelo endlini lapho wayenakekela izingane ezingenamakhaya, asebekhulile nabagulayo. Lokhu bekungukuqala kwemisebenzi yezenhlalo ePeru. Yize ayehlukanisiwe empilweni nasemsebenzini, walethwa kubaphenyi yi-Inquisition, ukuthi ingasho ukuthi uthonywe ngumusa.
Okwakungaba impilo nje eccentric kwaguqulwa kusuka ngaphakathi. Uma sikhumbula ukuvela okuthile okungajwayelekile, kufanele futhi sikhumbule into enkulu ngoRose: uthando lukaNkulunkulu olukhuthele kangangoba lokumelana nokugconwa kwabangaphandle, izilingo ezinobudlova nezikhathi zokugula ezinde. Lapho efa eneminyaka engama-31, uMuzi wakhombisa umngcwabo wakhe. Amadoda avelele ayashintshana ephethe ibhokisi lakhe.
