St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the religious nun who received private revelations about Jesus’ most Sacred Heart, confided her entire soul to another saint, Claude de la Colombiere.
Claude was a Jesuit priest in the 17th century who was appointed the spiritual director for the Visitation Sisters in Paray-le-Monial, France. It was there that he met St. Margaret and would give her spiritual direction throughout the years when she experienced visions of Jesus.
