EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and otherworldly figure of Saint Marguerite-Marie Alacoque (1647-1690), a French nun and visionary who is revered in the Catholic Church for her mystical experiences and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Born in Loudun, France, Alacoque joined the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary in 1661, and began experiencing profound visions and locutions from the age of 22. These visions, which continued for the rest of her life, called her to promote devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and she spent the remainder of her days spreading this message through her writings and personal encounters with the faithful. The image of Saint Marguerite-Marie Alacoque in this photograph exudes a sense of deep contemplation and otherworldly peace. Her serene expression and the gentle light that illuminates her face seem to suggest the presence of a divine being, while the delicate folds of her habit and the intricate details of her rosary beads add to the sense of sacredness and reverence. The date of her death, 1690, is inscribed at the bottom of the photograph, serving as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of human existence and the enduring power of faith. Saint Marguerite-Marie Alacoque was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920, and her legacy continues to inspire and captivate people around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the mystical world of this extraordinary woman, and invites us to reflect on the depths of the human spirit and the power of faith to transform our lives.
