Early Life and the Call to Vocation

Born on January 9, 1884, Marguerite grew up in a devout Catholic family in Dijon, France. From a young age, she exhibited a keen intelligence and a thirst for knowledge. However, her path took an unexpected turn when she developed a debilitating illness that left her bedridden for several years.
