Sister Margaret Mary

The story mainly follows Sr. Margaret Mary Alacoque from whom the virtues of humility, patience, and obedience are portrayed.

Although most of the nuns in the convent of Parlay-le-Monial feel judged and are mean to Sr. Margaret Mary, she does her best to understand the misunderstanding and be patient until Our Lord opens the sisters’ eyes.

Her humility is another virtue brought before the eyes of the reader. When the sisters do realize their mistake, Sr. Margaret Mary forgives them with the utmost humility.

Obedience is yet another of Sr. Margaret Mary’s shining virtues. Although she thought she wasn’t holy enough, Sr. Margaret Mary obediently writes down the story of her heavenly visions at the command of her superior.

Fr. De La Colombiere

Fr. de la Colombière is Sr. Margaret Mary’s closest friend and supporter. Throughout the story, he is helpful, encouraging and wise.

After Sr. Margaret Mary is shunned by all the sisters, she is afraid of telling anyone about Our Lord’s message to the world. However, after much encouragement from Fr. de la Colombière, she tells him her whole story. Rather than taking the path of others, Fr. de la Colombière instantly is willing to try spreading the word to the world.

Although the rest of the world refuses to believe Sr. Margaret Mary’s visions, Fr. de la Colombière never doubts for an instant. He continuously encourages her whether in person or in his letters.

Not only is Fr. de la Colombière willing to help and encourage, but he also uses various ways to spread Our Lord’s message to various people. He wisely addresses certain people differently than he would with others.

Mother de Saumaise is Sr. Margaret Mary’s first superior and among the first who believes that Sr. Margaret Mary was actually receiving visions. All throughout the time she is at the convent, Mother de Saumaise is both kind and believing in Sr. Margaret Mary.

Although some other sisters think Sr. Margaret Mary is crazy and needs to be silenced, Mother de Saumaise leans toward believing Sr. Margaret Mary. After a miraculous cure, she is really convinced.

But before she is actually convinced for sure, Mother de Saumaise is still kind to Sr. Margaret Mary. When some of the nuns believe Sr. Margaret Mary is getting ridiculous, Mother de Saumaise gently refuses to do anything to her.
