Wanting to learn more about the saint, thought it would be good to read her autobiography. Have to admit that there were many inspiring parts yet this definitely was a saint for another age. There are many moments where I would question the penances and the rigorous desire for suffering , so only recommended for those who have a very strong spiritual core, as it would benefit them. Otherwise, I would recommend reading about other Saints other saints, more from the modern era.
About the author
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque was born Marguerite Marie Alacoque at Lhautecour, France, in 1647. Even as a young child, she preferred prayer and silence to ordinary recreation, possessing a great love for the holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. A mystic, she also experienced visions of our Lord while still young, and took her religious habit in 1671. Subsequently, she began receiving revelations of our Lord's Sacred Heart, and published an autobiography out of obedience to her superiors. St. Margaret Mary died in 1690 and was canonized by Pope Benedict XV in 1920.
