"This week, the Church celebrated the feast day of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who promoted and popularized devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Margaret Mary was a French nun who was part of the Salesian family. She was a member of the Visitation Sisters of Holy Mary, the order of women religious founded by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal. In 1672, Christ appeared to Sister Margaret Mary and revealed to her the importance of devotion to His Sacred Heart over a series of visits. Jesus called Margaret Mary 'the Beloved Disciple of the Sacred Heart' and the heiress 'of all its treasures.'"
In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on the life of St. Margaret Mary and on the importance of being inspired to remain faithful, being at peace, and staying close to the Heart of Jesus
