Life of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque was a devoted member of the Visitation Order. In her convent at Paray-le-Monial, France, she was visited on several occasions by Christ, who instructed her to promote devotion to His Sacred Heart.
She dedicated the remaining years of her life to this apostolate. Her efforts met with strong opposition and she suffered much, but the liturgical cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with its practice of First Friday reception of Holy Communion, developed and prospered to become one of the most popular devotions of the Church.
The card states that St. Margaret Mary was born in 1647, died in 1690, and that her feast is celebrated on October 17.
