"Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." - Matthew 16:24-5
"Christ made me understand that I could save souls through the cross. The greater the crosses I encountered, the more ardent became my desire to endure them." -St. Theresa of the Child Jesus
