Fr. Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) was a poet, translator, and author who is best remembered as a writer of hymns. A graduate of Oxford, he was also friends with poet William Wordsworth. Among his translation works is the first English version of St Louis de Montfort's 'True Devotion to Mary'.Faber's 'The Life of Saint Rose of Lima' edits together existing stories of Saint Rose to draw a portrait of her poetic detail. The journey of her life, marked by miracles and revelations from God, remains a compelling story of the first saint of the Americas.-Print ed.
