Father V @father_rmv - Blessed Marguerite Rutan was a French religious sister and martyr who belonged to the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. Born on April 23, 1736, in Metz, Lorraine, she was the eighth of fifteen children in a devout Catholic family. Her father worked as a stonecutter, master mason, and architect, while her mother instilled strong Christian values in the household. From a young age, Marguerite felt drawn to serve those who suffered, and at twenty-one she entered the Daughters of Charity in 1757.
As a member of this community, known for its focus on caring for the sick and poor without cloister walls, Sister Marguerite gained extensive experience in nursing and hospital administration. She served in various missions, including time in Pau, before being sent in 1779 to the city hospital in Dax, where she became superior. There she directed the care of the sick, opened a school, and ran a shelter for abandoned girls, earning respect for her dedication and pioneering approach to social work. For over a decade, she and her fellow sisters lived among the townspeople, offering practical charity rooted in their Vincentian spirituality.
The French Revolution brought dramatic change. As anti-religious fervor intensified, authorities targeted the Church and its institutions. The Daughters of Charity in Dax faced increasing pressure to abandon their habits, swear oaths to the new regime, and cease their religious practices. Sister Marguerite refused to compromise her faith or her vocation. Accused of fanaticism and counter-revolutionary sentiments, she was arrested along with a local priest. On April 9, 1794, after a brief trial, she was condemned to death and guillotined in Dax at the age of fifty-seven. Her final moments reflected calm fidelity to Christ and to the poor she had served.
The cause for her beatification opened early in the twentieth century but advanced slowly. In 2011 Pope Benedict XVI recognized her death as martyrdom in hatred of the faith. Cardinal Angelo Amato presided over her beatification ceremony on June 19, 2011, in Dax. Blessed Marguerite Rutan stands as a witness to humble service and steadfast courage, embodying the Daughters of Charity ideal of seeing Christ in the suffering even amid persecution.

Video: The government provides SSNs for voter registration verification. Any SOS hiding behind “protect your privacy” claims is faking and doesn’t care about election integrity.
@CivilRights will obtain those voter rolls—voluntarily or through lawsuit!
