Alphonsa, formerly Anna, was raised by her aunt and joined a convent after a vision from St. Theresa of Liseux. During her life she was afflicted by a variety of illnesses, including eczema and partial paralysis as a child, and pneumonia as an adult. Convincing herself to embrace suffering, she was venerated as the first woman of Indian origin to be named a patron saint.
