________________________________
At the age of 20, Marguerite Naseau, the eldest of nine children and a poor, uneducated shepherdess, decided to teach children to read. But first she had to conquer her own illiteracy. She asked her parish priest to teach her the alphabet, four letters at a time. Marguerite studied while tending sheep. After instructing girls from her own village of Suresnes, France, this audacious young woman and several companions went from village to village to teach other girls how to read. It was in Villepreux that Marguerite met St. Vincent DePaul, who recognized and encouraged her desire to serve the poor. He brought her to Paris where he placed her under the care of St. Louise de Marillac, co-founder of the Daughters of Charity. Eventually, Marguerite learned how to administer medicines and nurse the sick. Marguerite caught the plague from a girl whom she had nursed and died “her heart filled with joy and conformity to God’s will.”
