January 12th 
St. Marguerite Bourgeoys (1620-1700), Virgin, Foundress.  Born in Troyes, France.

"It seems to me that we do not pay enough attention to prayer, for unless it arises from the heart which ought to be its centre, it is no more than a fruitless dream. Prayer ought to carry over into our thoughts, our words and our actions." The Writings of Marguerite Bourgeoys, p. 169
