Saint Alphonsa is known for her suffering and enduring so here is
something about her.
NIGHTINGALE OF SUFFERING
Radiant star of suffering
Icon of hope in the loneliness
Adorned with the germ of humility
St. Alphonsa, passionate lover of god.

Emptying the bottle of nardine
Pleased at the feet of Crucified
Prayed to be nothing as ‘Soil’
Greatly rewarded by the Crucified

Suffering from womb to tomb
Silent proclamation of sanctity
Seeking the wisdom of cross
Intercede for us dear, lover of the cross.
