"This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."

Matthew 13:35

"Jesus shows us His love, by giving us crosses. He sends crosses and sorrows only to those whom He loves. As for me, suffering is delightful. I consider that day when I don't have the chance to suffer, as a day which is lost."

- St. Alphonsa Muttathupadathu
