16 October

. . . .is the feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. A short profile of her is given here, including the 12 promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A more complete life can be found here.

Henri Gheon’s short life of St. Margaret Mary is excellent – if you can find it. I have it as part of the old “Image” paperback entitled Secrets of the Saints, which also included biographies of Don Bosco, the Little Flower, and the Cure of Ars. I don’t know if it is still in print in any format. It is well-worth the effort to search for it.

You can’t mention St. Margaret Mary without mentioning the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Thanks to Gerard Serafin for these sites honouring the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Today is also the feast of St. Hedwig
