Optional memorial of St.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
(religious 1647 – 1690)
In the seventeenth century, many
Christians in France were being
taught that perhaps only a few
people could ever reach heaven.
This false idea was called
Jansenism. At just the time when this idea was
doing its greatest damage, Margaret Mary came to a
special understanding of God’s mercy. She was
chosen by Christ to arouse the Church to a realization
of the love of God symbolized by the heart of Jesus.
Margaret Mary Alacoque was born in a small town in
Burgundy, France. She had many difficulties in
childhood, including the death of her father, a serious
illness, and trouble with relatives of the family.
After considering marriage for some time, she
entered the Order of Visitation nuns at the age of 24.
After being a nun for three years, she received the
first of her revelations. The request of Christ was
that his love for humankind be made evident through
her. During the next 13 months, He appeared to her
at intervals. His human heart was to be the symbol of
his divine-human love. By her own love she was to
make up for the coldness and ingratitude of the world
— by frequent and loving Holy Communion,
especially on the first Friday of each month, and by
an hour's vigil of prayer every Thursday night in
memory of His agony and isolation in Gethsemane.
He also asked that a feast day be instituted.
Margaret Mary felt called to let people know about
this love.
Like all saints, Margaret had to pay for her gift of
holiness. Some of her own sisters were hostile, and
theologians who were called in declared her visions
delusions and suggested that she eat more heartily.
Later, parents of children she taught called her an
impostor, an unorthodox innovator. Against her great
resistance, however, Christ called her to be a
sacrificial victim for the shortcomings of her own
sisters, and to make His love known.
Margaret died at the age of 43 while being anointed.
"I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the
heart of Jesus." The convent eventually began to
observe a feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and
later, a chapel was built there to honor Christ under
that title. After Margaret’s death, the observance
became a feast of the whole church.

Ellen Hynes.
