(d. 1852; feast day Nov. 18)
St. Rose Philippine
Taught the Potawatomi
Fueled by love and prayer
*
The natives called her:
“Woman who constantly prays”
(“Quah-kah-ka-num-ad”)
*
What St. Anne Seton
did in Eastern USA,
Rose did in Central
*
Setbacks without end
Did not keep the Lord’s grace
From blooming this Rose
*
Jesus’ Sacred Heart
His strength, compassion, ardor
Beat within her own
