A few months ago, I spent some time getting through the overwhelmingly long diaries of the Mercy Sister, Saint Maria Faustyna Kowalska, who received the visions and the message of the Divine Mercy, in the middle of the twentieth century. As I went through it, I noted with surprise that it was very similar indeed to the old Sacred Heart visions and message from the seventeenth century, by the Visitation Sister, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. This prompted me to find her autobiography, which happily is much, much, much shorter (pictured above). I shall spend a few days running through it. I've already reached some way in and I'm most impressed with this beautiful soul. I shall be mounting her image in the side-bar of this blog, above the other visionaries I've placed there.
