MARGARET, SAINT %((ou M THE LIFE OF ST. MARGARET CENTERED about a burning love of God and His Church. This love inflamed the hearts of all who came in contact with her, husband and children, and the courtiers and common people under her rule. Not only did this zeal enable her to bring about reorganization in the Church but also spurred her to make beautiful craft work to be used in God’s house. She was well aware of the vital role the liturgy must play in the life of a militant Catholic and made this the focal point of her religious exercises. We at St. Margaret’s strive to follow her splendid example by entering into the spirit of the Church year. Each academic day begins with morning prayer, reading and reflection on the feast of the day. In tremendous trifles” such as prayer before class and devotions in honor of St. Joseph and Our Lady, visits on First Friday, Stations of the Cross and in memories like annual retreats and religion classes we, too, are becoming strong followers of Margaret-the Saint.
