Life of Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque - Religious of the Visitation at Paray-Le-Monial; 1647-1690 #222866

"One cannot compare Saints, or declare that this one is holier than that - this would be ridiculous; but one can compare missions. Now Blessed Margaret Mary had an unique mission among the Saints - a mission which was to reach the whole world, the entire Hierarchy of the Church, all homes and all hearts to the end of time.<br><br>"Through her, God had made known His Heart to us. All the marvels of love which He still has in store for the world will only flow from this first gift, will only radiate with more or less light and heat from the fire of love that was opened to us at Paray, God not being able to give us more than His Heart. He may make It better known, by manifesting Its love and mercy in a more striking way; but - I repeat - this new effusion of love will only be a ray of the complete gift which He made known to us by Blessed Margaret Mary." - The Reverend Father Matthew Crawley-Boevey to the Religious of the Visitation at Lyons, 1917.
