I would just like to ask if St. Margaret Mary really had a message from Jesus for King Louis XIV regarding the Sacred Heart Devotion. It is said that King Louis rejected this , that is why misfortune after misfortune occurred for the Kings of France.

Is this really true? If so where is this in the writings of St. Margaret Mary?
 
Here is a quote from catholicism.org:
  • Nor can we end without mentioning that Our Lord had requested through Saint Margaret Mary in 1689 that the King of France, Louis XIV, consecrate the nation to the Sacred Heart. This was not done. Nor was it done during the long reign of his immoral and incompetent successor, Louis XV. It was done, one hundred years late, by Louis XVI, too late to save France, or the King himself, from the blood-lust of the Revolution. Before he was imprisoned Louis XVI, no doubt under the inspiration of his holy confessor, the Irish refugee, Abbé Henri Essex Edgeworth, made the consecration most piously of both his nation and himself to the Sacred Heart. Alas, the King and the Queen (the Abbé was her confessor as well) were both executed. Our Lord made reference to this hundred year procrastination of the kings of France in His message in 1931 to Sister Lucia of Fatima in regard to His requested consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart: “Make it known to My ministers, that given they follow the example of the King of France, in delaying the execution of My command … that like him, they will follow him into misfortune, they will repent of it, and they will do it, but it will be late. Russia will already have spread its errors in the world …”*
It might depend on which writings of St. Margaret Mary you are looking at. Authors will often pick and choose certain selections from Saints’ writings to push a certain point they are trying to make.
