________________________________

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a French Roman Catholic Visitation nun and mystic, is greatly recognized for her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Margaret had always shown an intense love for the Blessed Sacrament and preferred silence over typical childhood play. She began practicing severe corporal mortification after her first communion at 9-years-old.

She continued this until rheumatic fever confined her to her bed for four years. After making a vow to the Blessed Virgin Mary to consecrate herself to religious life, Margaret instantly returned to perfect health. In recognition of this favor, Margaret added the name Mary to her baptismal name.

“Go courageously to God, along the way He has traced out for you, steadfastly embracing the means He offers you.” “May faith be the torch which illuminates, animates, and sustains you.” “But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure.”
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque

Her feast day is October 17.
