St Margaret Mary was a seventeenth century Visitandine nun. She was gifted with many visions of Christ, as she prayed before the Blessed Sacrament. Christ spoke to her of His great sadness on account of people’s indifference to Him and to His work of redemption, and He showed her in vision the secrets of His most Sacred Heart.

She said: ‘I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of Jesus’. May this be true for us also, and may we live it out in our daily lives; and may God bless you this day.
