St. Margaret Ward Feast day : 30th August Margaret Ward lived in London in the service of a lady when she learned of the severe maltreatment of Father Richard Watson in the Bridewell Prison. She visited him and she managed to smuggle him a rope with which he escaped. She was a logical suspect and was arrested and tortured, but refused to disclose the priest's whereabouts. She was hanged at Tyburn on 30th August 1588, and declared one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales by Pope Paul VI in 1970. BDES
Young Saints # 1 : Saint Teresa of the Andes St Teresa of the Andes died of leukaemia in 1920, aged only 19. She was born in 1900 in Chile, as Juana Enriqueta Josephina de Los Sagrados Corazones Fern ndez Solar. She was a spirited young person and often argued with her siblings. Once, when her sister Rebeca slapped her, Juana stopped herself from retaliating and kissed her on the cheek. She was an enthusiastic swimmer and enjoyed playing the piano. While still quite young, she read the autobiography of St Th r se of Lisieux and was deeply affected by the example of the saint. She became a novice of the Order of Discalced Carmelites at the age of 18. She spent time writing letters to others, encouraging them and sharing thoughts on her spiritual life. Dying in the Spanish flu pandemic, she was allowed to take her final vows early. BDES
