Marguerite d'Youville is an example of living hope and innovative faith. The eldest of six children, Marguerite lost her father when she was seven. She profited by two years of schooling at the Ursuline Convent in Quebec, and became not only the teacher of her younger brothers and sisters, but her mother's indispensable helper in the home. While with the Ursulines, Marguerite discovered the French School of Spirituality which inspired her to go to God the Father through Jesus and to go out to serve the others. This spirituality was the source of her creative strength in the future.
