Origin of my name Margaret
I was named Margaret and named after Saint Margaret Mary of Alacoque, France who was a visitation nun (cloistered)that received inner and outer locutions of The Sacred Heart of Jesus; as such I am VERY PROUD of my namesake, and, although I have fallen very short of her saintliness I have strove to pattern my life after her life since I was about 25 yrs old; I am now 54 and, in my darkest times have called on her to pray for me; she is now a dear friend who I someday look forward to meeting when I die. She is a strong bearer of the name and we all stand in goodm holy company who are named Margaret.
