The account of how the Sacred Heart Devotion was given to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. Journey to Paray-le-Monial to the Convent of the Visitation where St. Margaret Mary Alacoque received apparitions of Jesus, where He showed her His Sacred Heart, and gave her the promises of the Sacred Heart. Learn about St. Claude Colombiere and how he, along with St. Margaret Mary, was responsible for our devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Maybe Sister Margaret Mary is a saint. Nonsense! The poor young woman has been out of her mind for years. Thats a lie! It is not! It is! The gossip in town raged on. The nuns themselves did not know what to think about this Sister who reportedly saw Our Lord. Even the superior, Mother Greyfie, didnt know what to think. But one day she decided to settle the question once and for all. For some time now Sister Margaret Mary had been seriously ill. Well, if Our Lord would cure her immediately and keep her in perfect health for five months, she, Mother Greyfie, would have no more doubts about the so-called apparitions, but would work to spread devotion to the Sacred Heart. So off went Mother Greyfie to the infirmary, where Sister Margaret Mary lay sick in bed. What was going to happen now? This book gives the answer. It also tells about Margarets painful days at home, her difficulties in becoming a nun, about St. Claude De la Colombiere, about the lonely young Catholic Duchess, and about Our Lords message concerning His Sacred Heart. In short, this is the remarkable story of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the wonderful promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

This is the remarkable story of the sickly St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the messenger chosen by Our Lord to convey the wonderful promises of His Sacred Heart. This story explains how a holy French nun-- who experienced a painful childhood, sickness, and suffered being gossiped by her sisters in the convent-- was chosen to proclaim the revelations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Great First Friday Promise. St. Margaret Mary's story shows how Our Lord chooses the weak to confound the strong, and He gives strength and consolation when it is most needed--her story is a story for all readers to have hope for eternal joy!

'le christianisme est étrange' - Pascal, Pensées Pascal's assertion that 'Christianity is strange', provides the theme for Richard Parish's exploration of Catholic particularity, as it was expressed in the writing of the French seventeenth century. This was a period of quite exceptional fertility in a range of genres: apologetics, sermons, devotional manuals, catechisms, martyr tragedies, lyric poetry, polemic and spiritual autobiography. Parish examines a broad cross-section of this corpus with reference to the topics of apologetics, physicality, language, discernment, polemics and salvation; and draws evidence both from canonical figures (Pascal, Bossuet, Fénelon, St François de Sales,...
