Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque; and the Sacred Heart of Jesus -- ESS #37

by Emily Beata Marsh FSP

Margaret Mary Alacoque knew in her heart that she wanted to serve Jesus, but little did she know that Jesus had a special message for her about his Sacred Heart.

As a child, Margaret experienced a miraculous healing after praying to the Blessed Mother, but she had to struggle to convince her own mother to allow her leave home and become a religious sister. Later, as Sister Margaret Mary of the Order of the Visitation, she struggled once again to convince those around her that Jesus was sending her messages to begin a devotion to his Sacred Heart. Jesus revealed twelve promises to Saint Margaret Mary when he spoke to her.

This 37th volume in the Encounter the Saints series familiarizes children ages 8 to 10 with Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, who received the message of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and helped to spread it throughout the world!
