"If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple."

Luke 14:26-27

"I understood that to become a saint one had to suffer much, seek out always the most perfect thing to do, and forget self."

- St. Therese of Lisieux
