We trace the hidden life of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque and how her visions of the Sacred Heart moved from a cloister to a global feast day. From illness and loss to alliances and opposition, we show how mercy became a movement and offer concrete ways to live it now.
• early losses, childhood prayer, private vows
• entry to the Visitation, discipline and scrutiny
• core revelations of 1673–1675 and their meaning
• the Twelve Promises and practical devotion
• doubts, desolation, and steady obedience
• partnership with Claude de la Colombière
• spread of First Fridays, Holy Hour, and the feast
• miracles, favors, and canonization milestones
• how to begin: image, enthronement, Eucharist, community
