Add St. Rose of Lima (Aug 30), rank deflated for late canonization
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m37s

She was previously excluded on a mistaken "post-1617, out of scope"
reading that conflated vu's hour-structure track (Monastic 1617) with
its calendar/saints track (Tridentine 1906 + Divino Afflatu 1954,
which has included her since her 1671 canonization). Her source rank
of Duplex is deliberately deflated to semiduplex, correcting for the
rank creep that made "new canonization" and "Duplex" a near-automatic
pairing from the Baroque period on. She wins Aug 30 outright over Ss.
Felix and Adauctus, who keep their existing commemoration.

Let us pray.
Almighty God, Giver of all good things, Who willed that blessed Rose,
imbued in early life with the dew of heavenly grace, should bloom
among the Indians with the beauty of virginity and patience, grant
unto us, Your servants, that, following the fragrance of her
sweetness, we may be found worthy to become a sweet savor of Christ.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with
thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.

Primus Americæ Meridionalis flos sanctitatis, virgo Rosa,
christianis parentibus Limæ progenita, mox ab incunabulis claruit
futuræ sanctimoniæ indiciis. Nam vultus infantis mirabiliter in
rosæ effugiem transfiguratus, huic nomini occasionem dedit: cui
postea Virgo Deipara cognomen adjecit, jubens vocari deinceps
Rosam a sancta Maria. Quinquennis votum perpetuæ virginitatis
emisit. Adultior, ne a parentibus ad nuptias cogeretur, clam
sibimet venustissimam capitis cæsariem præscidit. Jejuniis supra
humánum modum addicta, integras Quadragesimas transegit, pane
abstinens, ac dietim solis quinque granulis mali citrini
victitans.
Habitu tertii ordinis sancti Dominici assumpto, pristinas vitæ
austeritates duplicavit: oblongo asperrimoque cilicio sparsim
mimisculas acus innexuit: sub velo coronam densis aculeis
introrsus obarmatam interdiu noctuque gestavit. Sanctæ Catharinæ
Senensis ardua premens vestigia, catena ferrea, triplici nexu
circumducta, lumbos cinxit. Lectulum sibi e truncis nodosis
composuit, horumque vacuas commissuras fragminibus testarum
implevit. Cellulam sibi angustissimam struxit in extremo horti
angulo, ubi cælestium contemplationi dedita, crebris disciplinis,
inedia, vigiliis corpusculum extenuans, at spiritu vegetata,
larvas dæmonum, frequenti certamine victrix, impavide protrivit
ac superavit.
Aegritudinum tormentis, domesticorum insultibus, linguarum
morsibus dire agitata, nondum satis pro merito se affligi
quærebatur. Per quindecim annos ad plusculas horas desolatione
spiritus et ariditate miserrime contabescens, forti animo tulit
agones omni morte amariores. Exinde cœpit supernis abundare
deliciis, illustrari visionibus, colliquescere seraphicis
ardoribus. Angelo tutelori, sanctæ Catharinæ Senensi, Virgini
Deiparæ inter assiduas apparitiones mire familiaris, a Christo
has voces audire meruit: Rosa cordis mei, tu mihi sponsa esto.
Denique Sponsi hujus paradiso feliciter invectam, plurimisque
ante et post obitum miraculis coruscam, Clemens decimus Pontifex
Maximus sanctarum Virginum catalogo ritu solemni adscripsit.

The first flower of holiness which came to full blossom in South
America, was the maiden Rose. She was born at Lima, of a
Christian father and mother, (upon the 20th of April, in the
year 1586,) and was remarkable from her childhood for marks of
saintliness. The occasion of her name was a strange likeness to
a rose, which her face assumed when she was a babe. To this name
she afterwards added that of the Virgin Mother of God, desiring
to be called St. Mary's Rose. At the age of fifteen years she
uttered a vow of perpetual virginity. As she grew older, lest
her parents should force her to marry, she polled her head of
all her hair, which was very beautiful. She fasted to a degree
almost superhuman, passing whole Lents without taking bread, and
eating day by day only five pips of a lime.
She took the habit of the Third Order of St. Dominic, and then
doubled her former severities. She wore a long and very rough
hair-cloth, into which she inserted small pins. She wore day and
night under her veil a crown, the inner side of which was armed
with pricks. In imitation of the hard steps of St Katharine of
Sienna, she girded her loins with a threefold iron chain. She
made to herself a bed of knotty sticks, and filled the gaps with
broken bits of potsherd. She built herself a very small hut in
the farthest corner of the garden, where she gave herself up to
thoughts of heavenly things, and to punishing her body with
often scourging, starvation, and sleeplessness. But she waxed
strong in spirit, and though she often had to fight with evil
ghosts, she conquered them, fearlessly prostrated them, and
triumphed over them.
She suffered greatly from painful illnesses, from the
maltreatment of the servants, and from slanderous accusations,
but still complained that she did not suffer as much as she
deserved. For fifteen years she pined in misery from desolation
and dryness of spirit, bravely enduring torments worse than any
form of death. After this period she began to overflow with
consolation, to be enlightened by visions, and to melt with love
like a Seraph's. She attained, by the frequency of visions, to a
strange personal familiarity with her Guardian Angel, with St.
Katharine of Sienna, and with the Virgin Mother of God, and she
earned from Christ the words, Rose of My Heart, be thou My
bride. She was famous for many miracles, both before and after
she departed hence, and was happily transplanted into the
Bridegroom's garden, (upon the 24th of August 1617, being aged
31 years.) Pope Clement X. with solemn pomp inscribed her name
in the list of holy maidens.
