Saint Gertrude the Great: Herald of Divine Love

Published by TAN Books

Overview

Saint Gertrude the Great: Herald of Divine Love presents a short and inspiring biography of one of the greatest mystics in the history of the Church. Born in 1256 and entrusted from childhood to the schools of a Benedictine monastery, St. Gertrude excelled in learning, intellectual discipline, and the life of prayer. In her twenties, she turned her heart more deeply toward theology, the Fathers of the Church, and Sacred Scripture, entering into a profound union with God that would mark the rest of her life.

Though her holiness remained hidden by her own humility, St. Gertrude experienced extraordinary graces, including miracles, raptures, and numerous visions of Our Lord and Our Lady. Centuries before St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Gertrude received profound revelations concerning the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the immense charity by which Christ became man, died for sinners, instituted the Blessed Sacrament, and offered Himself as an eternal Victim for mankind.

This powerful little volume introduces readers to the sanctity, mystical insight, and burning devotion of the Benedictine nun who came to be known as the Herald of Divine Love. Through her life and revelations, readers are invited to contemplate the Heart of the Divine Redeemer and to pursue holiness with greater love, confidence, and devotion.
