	Saint Margaret’s \| About St. Margaret
		Margaret began her life as a “Royal Refugee.” Exiled to Hungary by a foreign king, her English family were victims of the many political struggles of those nations which had survived the turbulent Dark Ages of Europe and were now entering the second millennium after Christ, the Middle Ages.
		Ten years after Margaret’s birth in Hungary, England’s royal family were allowed to return home to reign; so Margaret grew up a princess in the English Court, yet separated from the political intrigue by her teachers, the Holy Benedictine monks.
		So, at the age of twenty, Margaret began the third chapter of her life—ten years in Hungary, ten in England, and now she was with the primitive peoples of Scotland at Dumferline.

	Saint Margaret of Scotland Summary
		Margaret of Scotland (1045-1093), wife of the Scottish king Malcolm III, introduced important religious reforms into Scotland and was a civilizing agent in the social life of that country.
		Nevertheless, the descendents of Margaret did, after the death of Duncan II, through the assistance of the Norman establishment of England, succeed Malcolm; and these sons regarded their Anglo-Saxon heritage as important, as the latter was one of the main devices for legitimizing the authority of the Scottish kings in Lothian and northern England.
		The Roman Catholic church formerly marked the feast of Saint Margaret of Scotland on 10 June, but the date was transferred to 16 November in the liturgical reform of 1972.

	Saint Margaret's Episcopal Church - Who was St. Margaret?
		With considerable zeal, Margaret sought to change what she considered to be old-fashioned and careless practices among the Scottish clergy.
		Margaret was not as successful as she wished to be in creating greater unity in faith and works between her own native England and the Scots.
		She was unable, for example, to bring an end to the bloody warfare among the highland clans, and after her death in 1093, there was a brief return to the earlier isolation of Scotland from England.

	Patron Saints Index: Saint Margaret of Antioch
		Her mother died when Margaret was an infant, and the child was raised by a Christian woman.
		Part of her story involves her meeting the devil in the form of a dragon, being swallowed by the dragon, and then escaping safely when the cross she carried irritated the dragon's innards; this accounts for this virgin's association with pregnancy, labour, and childbirth.
		She was one of the saints who appeared to Saint Joan of Arc.

	David McRoberts
		Margaret was a daughter altogether worthy of such forbears, strong in character, solid in piety and a profound scholar, the ideal person required to carry through the renaissance of culture and piety of which her adopted country stood so much in need.
		The source of Margaret's reform is the same Cluniac revival which led her contemporary, Hildebrand, to fight against the moral degeneracy of the church and to fight for its independence against the lay usurpers of ecclesiastical rights.
		Margaret's immediate achievement was hard-won and of necessity limited in range: for instance the queen did not attack the root cause of the whole evil state of the church, namely the usurpation of ecclesiastical positions by laymen.

	Saint Margaret - ApostolicWiki
		Saint Margaret’s name signifies pearl, “a fitting name,” says Theodoric, her confessor and her first biographer, “for one such as she.” Her soul was like a precious pearl; a life spent amidst the luxury of a royal court never dimmed its luster or estranged it from Him who had bought it with His blood.
		She was the granddaughter of an English king; in 1070 she became the bride of Malcolm of Scotland, thereafter reigning as Queen until her death in 1093.
		Saint Margaret did not neglect her duties in the world even if she was not of the world.

		The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under my displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.
		The sacred heart of Christ is an inexhaustible fountain and its sole desire is to pour itself out into the hearts of the humble so as to free them and prepare them to lead lives according to his good pleasure.
		In this way his will can carry out for us whatever contributes to his glory, and we will be happy to be his subjects and to trust entirely in him.

	The Two Hearts Ablaze: Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque
		No account of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of our Lord can be complete without reference to the revelations granted to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Visitation nun of the 1670s passionately devoted to the Blessed Sacrament and the Rosary.
		Yes, Saint John Eudes was an early contemporary of hers, and wrote wonderfully about both the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts.
		But it was the revelations to St. Margaret Mary that catapulted devotion to the Sacred Heart from one among many wonderful, valid devotions to THE Catholic devotion par excellence.
