ST. GERTRUDE THE GREAT'S FEAST DAY: NOVEMBER 16TH.
ST. GERTRUDE THE GREAT
St. Gertrude was the herald of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She is the diadem, the queen flower of the Benedictine Order, the most beautiful lily among the holy virgins who flourished during the middle ages.
GLORIOUS PROMISES
St. Gertrude received from the Eternal Truth Himself many promises. One time Our Lord promised her that no one who had venerated her would depart this life without having first received the grace of making his life pleasing to God, and that, he would enjoy the comfort of a special friendship with God.
Once our Divine Savior, opening His lips and inhaling, said to His beloved spouse: "Just as I have now drawn in My breath, so shall I in truth draw to Myself all who incline toward thee with love and devotion for My sake, and I shall grant them the grace to make progress in virtue from day to day."
He also promised her that if anyone should praise and thank Him for the graces lavished on her, and ask for a favor, He would, in that love with which He had pre-elected her from eternity, assuredly grant the plea, provided it were for the eternal welfare of the suppliant. (It is remarkable, however, that St. Gertrude does not seem to interest herself greatly in obtaining mere temporal and earthly favors for her clients. Her intercession is particularly powerful for needs of the soul).
In addition, St. Gertrude received the promise that if anyone performs a good work in her honor,…he should obtain as his merit whatever is performed in honor of the saint. No sinner who had loved and venerated her should die suddenly!
