Saint of the day: Blessed Margaret of Metola was born blind, but enjoyed holy visions. She was heard often to say "Oh, if you only knew what I have in my heart!" Her father took this statement literally and after her death gained special permission to have her heart cut open. Inside he found three pearls with holy figures carved upon them.
