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!
Mary Fabyan Windeatt was known as “the storyteller of the saints.” In the 1950’s and 60’s, she wrote over twenty historical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world. By artistically rendering familiar stories, the Windeatt books help readers see that the saints are real people whom we can emulate.
this book is ideal for all children, especially those enrolled in TAN Academy in the fourth through sixth grades for easy-reading literature.
