| revelations of st gertrude: The Life and Revelations of Saint Gertrude the Great St Gertrude the Great, 2002-10 The Revelations of St. Gertrude the Great form one of the classics of Catholic writing.

| revelations of st gertrude: Spiritual Exercises Gertrud (von Helfta, Heilige), 1989 The remarkable monastery of Helfta was a 'place where learning and art, courtesy and holiness flowered in a dark season' of interregnal warfare.* The nuns drew their inspiration from the twin roots of Citeaux: the Rule of Saint Benedict and the constitutions of Citeaux; their spirituality, liturgy, customs, and habits were modelled on those of the White Monks, even though juridically they were not part of the Cistercian Order. Under the guidance of the thirteenth-century abbess Gertrud of Hackeborn, the nuns of Helfta steadfastly pursued learning and holiness. Among them were three outstanding women whose works have come down through the centuries: Mechtilde of Hackeborn, Mechtilde of Magdeburg, and the scholarly Gertrud the Great. Having entered monastic life at the age of five, Gertrud combined a deep knowledge of the Church Fathers and earlier medieval writers, an intimate familiarity with Scripture, and innate common sense. Her Spiritual Exercises—prayers, litanies, meditations, and hymns—articulate a spirituality that is both traditionally monastic and authentically, but unself-consciously, feminine. Hers is a mysticism of light and love, of humility and commitment, of freedom and discipline and—most of all—of joy. *M. Jeremy Finnegan OP, 'The Women of Helfta', Peace Weavers, Medieval Religious Women, 2:212. -- |
| revelations of st gertrude: The Book of Special Grace Mechthild (of Hackeborn), 2017 Mechthild's Book consists of visions and revelations about liturgical feasts, saints, and the Blessed Virgin, along with many other revelations experienced by the mystical nun as recounted to her sisters--especially her close friend, St. Gertrude the Great. These visions reveal the deeply communal, optimistic spirituality of the Helfta nuns, which revolved around their sacramental and liturgical life and asserted strong, durable bonds between the living and the dead. Because of the work's considerable length, this translation is selective, focusing especially on passages devoted to the Sacred Heart (the chief contribution of Helfta to the broader tradition of Catholic spirituality), the friendship of Mechthild and Gertrude, and the nature of life in community. Included are an introduction and notes. + |

| revelations of st gertrude: Summary of St. Gertrude the Great's Life and Revelations of St. Gertrude the Great Everest Media,, 2022-04-29T22:59:00Z Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The 13th century was a century of saints and of great note for the Church. It was marked by the establishment of the great orders of St. Dominic and St. Francis, and by the death of St. Louis, a victim to his love of Jesus crucified. #2 The Saint was chosen to assist others during her lifetime by her merits and intercession, as well as by the gift of counsel which she was especially favored with. She was especially designed by Providence to assist others by her merits and intercession, as well as the gift of counsel. #3 The Virgin Saint Gertrude was loved by God very much. He showed her a precious stone on His heart, in the form of a triangle, made of trefoils, the beauty and brilliancy of which cannot be described. He said to her: I always wear this jewel as a pledge of the affection which I have for My spouse. #4 Gertrude was a beloved saint in a community of saints. She was often prayed for, and she heard these words: The faults which appear in Gertrude may rather be called steps in perfection, for it would be almost impossible for human weakness to be preserved from the blasts of vainglory amid the abundance of graces which I continuously operate in her. |
| revelations of st gertrude: The Secret of the Rosary Louis de Montfort, 2023-11-25 Louis de Montfort presents some refreshing views on the Rosary and its power in this beautiful book. It contains spiritual reflections on the Rosary, its significance, how to pray it most effectively, and many narratives of miracles that worked for those who prayed it. The book attempts to deliver the message that Rosary is the most focused and preferred devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It describes the historical and spiritual significance of the Holy Rosary and examines the meaning behind the prayers, Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. In addition, Montfort did a marvelous job providing helpful tips on avoiding distraction and faithfully praying the Rosary every day. This well-structured work is a concise, straightforward, yet inspiring read for anyone who wants to find their spiritual path. It consists of short sections called Roses.

It's a perfect read for anyone who wants to know about the Rosary, whether for religious purpose or out of curiosity. Catholics worldwide have read the book for over two centuries, and it's still an excellent spiritual resource. |
| revelations of st gertrude: Maria Maddalena De' Pazzi Saint Maria Maddalena De' Pazzi, 2000 Classics of Western Spirituality In one of the only English translations available, here are the mystical visions of Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi (1566-1606), one of the most original woman mystics of the Renaissance. However, until now she has curiously been neglected by scholars of Christian history and Italian literature alike. Editor and translator Armando Maggi rectifies this in an utterly fascinating volume of the Classics of Western Spirituality Soon after entering a convent in Florence, where she spent all of her adult years in strict enclosure, Maria Maddalena experienced visions in which she spoke to the Trinity, in particular to Christ. She did not intend to communicate these to an outside audience, and they were transcribed by her fellow nuns. Maggi offers readers here a selection from the whole corpus of Maria Maddalena's visions as contained in the manuscripts The Forty Days, The Dialogues, Revelations and Knowledge and The Probations. Unlike most other mystical works in the Western tradition Maria Maddalena's visions have a distinctly oral nature. Maria Maddalena's mysticism lies in her interpretation of oral language. She believed that God wanted her to speak his being |
| revelations of st gertrude: Purgatory: Illustrated by the Lives and Legends of the Saints Rev. F.X. Schouppe, 2018-03-22 PURGATORY occupies an important place in our holy religion : it forms one of the principal parts of the work of Jesus Christ, and plays an essential role in the economy of the salvation of man. What then is the work which we, members of the Church, have to do for the souls in Purgatory ? We have to alleviate their sufferings. God has placed in our hands the key of this mysterious prison : it is prayer for the dead, devotion to the souls in Purgatory. |

| revelations of st gertrude: Hungry Souls Gerard J. M. van den Aardweg, 2009-11 After a week of hearing ghostly noises, a man is visited in his home by the spirit of his mother, dead for three decades. She reproaches him for his dissolute life and begs him to have Masses said in her name. Then she lays her hand on his sleeve, leaving an indelible burn mark, and departs... A Lutheran minister, no believer in Purgatory, is the puzzled recipient of repeated visitations from demons who come to him seeking prayer, consolation, and refuge in his little German church. But pity for the poor spirits overcomes the man's skepticism, and he marvels at what kind of departed souls could belong to Christ and yet suffer still... Hungry Souls recounts these stories and many others trustworthy, Church-verified accounts of earthly visitations from the dead in Purgatory. Accompanying these accounts are images from the Museum of Purgatory in Rome, which contains relics of encounters with the Holy Souls, including numerous evidences of hand prints burned into clothing and books; burn marks that cannot be explained by natural means or duplicated by artificial ones.

| revelations of st gertrude: The Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden St Bridget of Sweden, 2016-08-08 God is disgusted by the fall and ruin of his holy Church ... drops of burning and smoking sulfur are dripping from the roof; the walls are as revolting to look at as pus mingled with rotting blood. These are startling words, and they are from one of the many revelations received by St Bridget (or Birgitta) of Sweden (1303-1373): wife, mother of eight, widow, social and Church reformer, mystic, and foundress of the Order of the Most Holy Savior, also known as the Brigittine Order. The world has witnessed in recent years a rapidly growing interest in St Bridget among Catholics as well as Protestants, and even non-Christians, scholars and the general population alike. Pope John Paul II declared St Bridget Co-Patroness of Europe (1 Oct 1999) and called her a Model for Today's Woman (3 Oct 2002), seeing in her life and in her writings a powerful witness to the Gospel, an icon as it were, reflecting the beauty, goodness and loving mercy of God - as well as his justice - to our modern world in great need, like the Prodigal Son, of coming to its senses and returning to its Father. St Bridget is best known for the Revelations, the divinely inspired messages she received from God the Father, Jesus, the Virgin Mary and numerous saints over a period of almost 30 years. Although the Revelations consist of twelve books and hundreds of pages and treat of a wide variety of subjects, including visions and messages Bridget received regarding the infancy, life and sufferings of Christ which are not found in the gospels, there can also be found throughout the work messages which are of utmost pertinence for today, showing the actuality of St Bridget for the Church and for the world in our times. This collection of Books 1-5 of the Revelations is large, 8x10 and 418 pages and contains most of the important revelations given to the saint, and it is priced low for wide distribution of these timeless messages pertinent to our times as much as or even more so than St Bridget's.

| revelations of st gertrude: The glories of Mary Alfonso Maria de' Saint Liguori, 2025-03-02 In The Glories of Mary, Alfonso Maria de' Saint Liguori presents a profound exploration of Marian devotion, intertwining theological reflection with a rich tapestry of prayer and meditation. Written in an accessible yet eloquent style, the book stands as a monumental work of Catholic spirituality, infused with a baroque sensibility that echoes the artistic trends of the 18th century. This devotional classic delves into the virtues and intercessory power of the Virgin Mary, offering the faithful a deepened understanding of her role in salvation history, and invites readers into an intimate relationship with the divine through Marian devotion. Alfonso Maria de' Saint Liguori, a prominent figure in the development of Catholic moral theology, was deeply influenced by both the Counter-Reformation and the burgeoning Baroque spirituality of his time. As a bishop and a founder of the Redemptorist Congregation, Liguori's approach to spirituality emphasizes engagement with ordinary life and the search for holiness, stemming from his pastoral experiences and compassionate advocacy for the marginalized. His background in law and theology enriches this work, allowing him to elegantly blend intellectual rigor with heartfelt piety. This work is highly recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Marian devotion or to enhance their spiritual practice. Liguori's engaging prose and profound insights make this book a vital resource for both personal reflection and communal worship, serving as a guiding light for the faithful on their spiritual journey. |

It is his devastating response to a defamatory political tract that claimed that the greed and corruption of English clergymen stemmed from their insistence on being paid to pray for the dead. |
