| Alexandrina Maria da Costa (1904-1955) |
As a "testimony" to the mission to which God had called her, Alexandrina desired the following words written on her tombstone: "Sinners, if the dust of my body can be of help to save you, come close, walk over it, kick it around until it disappears. But never sin again: do not offend Jesus anymore! Sinners, how much I want to tell you.... Do not risk losing Jesus for all eternity, for he is so good. Enough with sin. Love Jesus, love him!".
Alexandrina died on 13 October 1955. Her last words: "I am happy, because I am going to Heaven".

I also found this. I wonder did they get a reply?

Dear friend,
I am so glad to read the life of St. Alexandrina Da Costa. 15years back for my first profession one priest gave me a stamp of Alexandrina Da Costa but I never had any regards for her but I always treasured it with me. But now after so many years something was telling me within to search the life of Alexandrina in the internet and I found. Thanks be to God.
To introduce myself, I am a religious sister from Goa, India. And I am very glad to tell my name. I am, Sr. Alexandrina Da Costa. This is my original baptismal name. I am very very happy that there is one saint with the same name and surname too.
If you could send me something like Photo or write ups of Alexandrina I would be glad. I am in Spain.
Thanks and May St. Alexandrina intercede for you and me.
Lots of love
Sr. Alexandrina Da Costa
