#atelierLeda's Medallion Necklace Collection ✼••┈┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼ This is a medallion necklace of "Saint Marguerite d'Youville," the founder of the Sisters of Charity of Montreal (Grey Nuns).✧*。 † Saint Marguerite d'Youville † Saint Marguerite d'Youville was a woman known as the "Mother of the Poor" in Montreal, Canada. She lost her husband at a young age and, while raising her children and living a difficult life, chose to be by the side of those in need. In 1737, she and her companions established a small community and dedicated themselves to nursing the sick and caring for orphans and the elderly. Their activities gradually expanded, eventually becoming the "Sisters of Charity of Montreal (Grey Nuns, also known as the Sisters of Charity)," and they continue to work in education, medicine, and welfare around the world today. This movement also reached Japan, and it lives on in the educational activities of Caritas Gakuen, as well as in initiatives that support children and the local community. The spirit of "love that leaves no one behind," which Marguerite cherished, has been passed down across the sea. The Church highly praised her life, beatifying her in 1959 and canonizing her in 1990 by John Paul II. Her image of living alongside those suffering from poverty and illness is revered by believers around the world, not just as a philanthropist, but as a person who "lived love itself." Marguerite's charm lies not in special powers, but in the accumulation of small, everyday acts. She held the hands of the sick, encouraged the lonely, and prepared education for the future... Her warm gaze is a great comfort to us living in the present day. This medallion of Saint Marguerite d'Youville is a sign to keep her gentle prayers and powerful love in your heart... It will be a great encouragement to those involved in medicine, welfare, and education, and to all those who try to support someone in their daily lives.
