St Margaret Mary

[Monica4316]

Does anyone here have a devotion to this Saint? I’m reading about her life right now and - it’s really amazing how much she loved God. i want to learn more about her. The book I’m reading is “The Devotion to the Sacred Heart” by Fr John Croiset SJ

My friend has a first class relic of her.

One day, at adoration, she brought it. I was in need of a small miracle, a healing, as I was going that day for a biopsy.

My friend and I prayed for her intercession.

I went to the doctor about an hour later for the biopsy. Previous tests had determined pre cancerous cells.

My biopsy was negative and I have never had another positive test. That was over three years ago.

Praise God and thank you St Margaret Mary for your intercession.

Just wanted to share, as I’ve never really shared my story much.

On my last trip to France in 2000, I visited the Visitation Convent chapel in Paray-le-Monial, where St. Margaret Mary had her visions of the Sacred Heart. I saw her tomb, which was over one of the side altars. She’s one of my favorite Saints.

I have several books on her: her Autobiography, her Letters, two biographies (one a ‘factual novel’) and one of thoughts and prayers from her writings.

Amazing what she had to endure in her life: persecution in her home life and her convent life. Many of her fellow nuns disliked and despised her. Good thing she had a friend in her spiritual director, St. Claude de la Colombiere.
