The
life of this saint is like a rose among thorns. She was born into a
poor, but upper class family in Peru, soon after the conquest.
Coming from such a bewildering childhood, she identified deeply with
the suffering Christ. She longed to become a nun, but was prevented by
her family from doing so.
She practiced austere penances at home and eventually became a
Dominican tertiary. She was a close friend of another Dominican saint
with an unhappy childhood, Martin de Porres.
To help support her family, she did fine embroidery and raised flowers
for sale. Along with flowers, she raised medicinal herbs which she used
to cure the sick poor of Lima who began flocking to her small infirmary
in her family’s home.
She had a special love and concern for the Indians who had been
savagely conquered by men like Pizarro. She herself had Inca blood.
Her love for God was passionate and deep. She wrote mystical poetry,
which she occasionally sang with a guitar. Like many a Spanish mystic,
she had to defend herself before the dreaded Inquisition.
Near the end of her short life, a small bird came each day at sunset
and sang a love song with her that she had composed.
She died after a painful illness, just as a clock was striking midnight
-- reminiscent of the Gospel parable of the Bridegroom and the ten
virgins bearing lamps.
Her feast day is August 23.
