ref:1.40:

[22] [She obeyed her mother] About three years before the blessed death of Rose, it happened that she was invited by the illustrious matron D. Maria de Usategui, wife of the royal treasurer D. Gundisalvi de la Massa, from her father’s home to a free lodging in her own house. The virgin complied, because her parents were ordering her—indeed, commanding her to be obedient in all things to Gundisalvo and his wife. Thus the occasion to obey was not changed but doubled: for humble Rosa, though she considered herself free from the paternal roof, did not deem herself exempt from submission; with the same promptness with which she obeyed in her own home, she obeyed in a foreign one, not only the commands of Gundisalvus or his wife, but also at the beck of their daughters and of the household staff, down to the lowest servants of the house. You have a prime example of this below the chapter. 5. He was testifying. Where you will see Rosa, at the very point of death, obedient to Gundisalvo.

ref:3.27:

[348] [that she was to be enrolled there among the nuns;] But Rosa, all the more eager for so many contradictions, replied in a humble but joyful voice: “Come, most sweet mother, let the battles of words cease here at last; you, for your great benefit, will experience how hard it is to kick against the pricks: in the monastery of Saint Catherine of Lima, which I foretell, you yourself will be among the first to don the pure habit of the nuns; “There you will be veiled, there you will solemnly profess, there, as a Religious, you will consummate the rest of your life.” Upon hearing this, the mother, thinking herself insulted, was so enraged that she drove her daughter from her sight, crying out loudly, “Shall I become a nun?” I, to whom no thought of a regular life or state has ever found access, I, lacking the necessary gift, ignorant of singing and psalming, nurtured in worldly cares, empty of spirit, impatient of enclosure, burdened with many things—should I enter a cloister? In this age, shall I embrace and profess a strict, narrow, and difficult religion? Away, enough of nonsense, we will see these things fulfilled on Greek Calends.
