“Great God, hear my prayers!
Oh, that I could breathe my last
before Your tabernacle,
burning with love and
bathed with my tears!”
St Gertrude
Benedictine nun, mystic
Patroness of the West Indies
FEAST DAY – November 16
"Lord, You have granted me Your secret friendship by opening the sacred ark of Your divinity, Your deified heart, to me in so many ways as to be the source of all my happiness; sometimes imparting it freely, sometimes as a special mark of our mutual friendship. You have so often melted my soul with Your loving caresses..."
From The Life and Revelations of Saint Gertrude
St Gertrude, ora pro nobis!
