Jesus said, "Let her alone, let her keep it for the day of my burial. The poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me."

John 12:7-8

“You are afraid to suffer, but it were better to thank God for it, since the more you undergo down here, the less you will endure above. Grief is a portion of one's heritage taken in advance from Purgatory.”

- St. Lydwine of Schiedam
