St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin, Mystic and Visionary of the Sacred Heart


St. Margaret was born in France in 1647 and entered the Visitation convent at Paray-le-Monial in 1671. Beginning in 1673, she had many mystical revelations concerning devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She endeavored to propagate this devotion to the whole Church.

My Favorite Quotes from St. Margaret Mary:



"What a weakness it is to love Jesus Christ only when He caresses us, and to be cold immediately once He afflicts us. This is not true love. Those who love thus, love themselves too much to love God with all their heart."


"The Divine Heart is an ocean full of all good things, wherein poor souls can cast all their needs; it is an ocean full of joy to drown all our sadness, an ocean of humility to drown our folly, an ocean of mercy to those in distress, an ocean of love in which to submerge our poverty."
