We did not harvest the wheat in the seventh month of the year and our vineyards were destroyed by the storm.
The latter followed her to the Carthusian monastery, succeeding her as Prioress.
We have no information on her childhood, but from her writings it seems that she spent it peacefully in an affectionate family environment. How bitterly you suffered because of me throughout your life! We do not know the date of her birth, although some place it around 1240.
She said: "You were placed on the hard bed of the Cross, so that you could not move or turn or shake your limbs as a man usually does when suffering great pain, because you were completely stretched and pierced with the nails... There, is also rubbish in our consciences and in our souls. giving birth to me, for a day or a night, but you, most gentle Lord, were tormented for me not only for one night or one day, but for more than 30 years!...
With Marguerite we also say: "Gentle Lord, all that you did, for love of me and of the whole human race, leads me to love you, but the remembrance of your most holy Passion gives unequalled vigour to my power of affection to love you. She wrote: “Gentle Lord, I left my father and my mother and my siblings and all the things of this world for love of you; but this is very little, because the riches of this world are but thorns that prick; and the more one possesses the more unfortunate one is.
because your love was loftier than any other love" (ibid., Meditazione II, 36-39.42, p. Newburyport, MA: Focus Information Group, Inc., 1990.

Marguerite's gentle Lord
On Wednesday, 3 November [2010], at the General Audience in the Paul VI Audience Hall, the Holy Father spoke about the Medieval French Saint, Marguerite d'Oingt.
Moreover, our church is in such a sorry state that we are obliged to reconstruct it in part" (ibid., Lettere, III, 14, p. Moreover, our church is in such a sorry state that we are obliged to reconstruct it in part.”
A Carthusian nun thus describes the figure of Marguerite: “Revealed through her work is a fascinating personality, of lively intelligence, oriented to speculation and at the same time favoured by mystical graces: in a word, a holy and wise woman who is able to express with a certain humour an affectivity altogether spiritual.” In the dynamism of mystical life, Marguerite valued the experience of natural affections, purified by grace, as a privileged means to understand more profoundly and to second divine action with greater alacrity and ardour.
That is why it seems to me that... Thank you.

Marguerite d'Oingt
Marguerite d'Oingt — est née probablement en 1240, et décédée le 11 février 1310. because your love was loftier than any other love.”
Dear friends, Marguerite d'Oingt invites us to meditate daily on the life of sorrow and love of Jesus and that of his mother, Mary.
Elle est issue de la puissante famille d Oingt en Beaujolais, famille qui s éteindra en 1382, faute d héritier mâle. She wrote "The mother who carried me in her womb suffered greatly in. Therefore let us follow holy Marguerite in this gaze fixed on Jesus. She says that the Cross of Christ is similar to the bench of travail. She wrote: "The mother who carried me in her womb suffered greatly in giving birth to me, for a day or a night, but you, most gentle Lord, were tormented for me not only for one night or one day, but for more than 30 years!...
Significant in this connection is a passage of a letter to her father. With Marguerite we also say: “Gentle Lord, all that you did, for love of me and of the whole human race, leads me to love you, but the remembrance of your most holy Passion gives unequalled vigour to my power of affection to love you. She was a very learned woman; she usually wrote in Latin, the language of the erudite, but she also wrote in Provençal, and this too is a rarity: thus her writings are the first of those known to be written in that language.
