| St. Margaret of Hungary |
History
Margaret’s father was King Bela IV
of Hungary, so she was a princess. But she loved Jesus more than her fancy
clothes and castle, so when she was 10 or 12 years old, she became a novice at a
Dominican convent for women from noble families. Even though Margaret outranked all
the other nuns, she refused to be treated as if she was
special. She always took the worst chores and the most difficult cases at the
hospital where the sisters worked.
Activity
In every home – just like in every
convent – there are disgusting, dirty chores that nobody wants to do, like
scrubbing toilets, cleaning up after pets or taking out the trash. Today, honor
Saint Margaret of Hungary by doing what she would do: choose the worst chore
available and do it yourself so that nobody else has to.
