Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2010, 28th Week in Ordinary Time

SAINT MARGUERITE-MARIE ALACOQUE (France, 1647-1690), Virgin, Visitation nun, Mystic, Apostle of the Sacred Heart
Growing up a sickly child, she was always very devout and practised mortifications. she was healed from a crippling disorder by a vision the Virgin Mary. She also had visions of Jesus, including seeing him fresh from the scourging. This led her to join the Visitation nuns in Paray-le-Monial when she was 24. Visitation nuns were taught to be 'extraordinary by being ordinary' which suited Marguerite's temperament. In 1974, she received the first of several visions of Jesus during which he told her he wanted his love for mankind to be made evident through devotion to his heart, symbol of his love. He recommended frequent Holy Communion especially on the first Friday of each month, an hour's prayer vigil on Thursdays in memory of his agony in Gethsemane, and a feast of the Sacred Heart. Marguerite met hostility from her fellow sisters, theologians and the community who thought she was delusional. Then a Jesuit confessor, Claude de la Colombiere, recognized her genuineness and supported her. She went on to serve as novice mistress and assistant superior but she died at an early age. After her death, the Jesuits promoted devotion to teh Sacred Heart, which continued to be controversial, but 75 years after her death, the devotion was officially recognized. She was beatified in 1864, at which time her body was found to be incorrupt. Buried at what is now the Sanctuaries at Paray-le-Monial, many miracles have since been attributed to her. She was canonized in 1920, and in a 1928 encyclical, Pius XI officially reaffirmed Church approval of the Sacred Heart devotions.
