What we have to do with here is a small volume of autobiography by the Seventeenth Century French saint, who beheld the Sacred Heart and brought its Public Devotion to the entire Catholic world.This short book was written in the saint's own hand in the form of a narrative, with no distinctive breaks or chapters.From the outset, the careful reader is brought directly into intimate rapport with the author, as immediately we receive an image of the psychological and spiritual struggles of the saint.For the book is introduced with a statement from Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, claiming that she has written it as an act of obedience. She writes:"It is for the love of Thee, O my God, and through obedience, that I submit to write this account, asking Thy pardon for the resistance I have made. Thou alone knowest how great my repugnance thereto is; Thou alone therefore canst give me strength to overcome it, for this obedience was given me by Thee."That in fact, if it were her own choice, she is confessing she would destroy this chronicle of her life. Yet in this pledge of obedience, one can immediately sense the all encompassing love she has for her Divine Master, Our Lord, as well as the turmoil she experiences in living the depth and reciprocity of that love. She wants as always only to please Our Lord.The first part of the book details her early years, where, from childhood she experienced herself to be under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary.At a very young age, she made a vow of perpetual chastity, ignorant of the meaning of the words `vow' or `chastity'.
