St. Margaret Mary

St Margaret Mary was born July 22, 1647, at L'Hautecourt, Burgundy, France. She was healed from a crippling disorder by a vision of the Blessed Virgin, which prompted her to give her life to God. After receiving a vision of Christ fresh from the Scourging, she was moved to join the Order of the Visitation at Paray-le-Monial in 1671.

In 1675, she received a revelation from our Lord, which included twelve promises to her and to those who practiced a true to devotion to His Sacred Heart. She died in 1690 of natural causes; her body is incorrupt.

She is a patroness of polio patients. Her Feast Day is October 16.
