November 16th: Saint Gertrude the Great

November 16, 2016 By admin

Today is the Feast of St. Gertrude the Great, a saint who was a mystic and had visions of Jesus Christ, and helped to promote the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

“Every time we look at the Blessed Sacrament our place in heaven is raised forever.”

Saint Gertrude the Great (1256-1302)

Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, fountain of eternal life, Your Heart is a glowing furnace of Love. You are my refuge and my sanctuary. O my adorable and loving Savior, consume my heart with the burning fire with which Yours is aflamed. Pour down on my soul those graces which flow from Your love. Let my heart be united with Yours. Let my will be conformed to Yours in all things. May Your Will be the rule of all my desires and actions. Amen.

– Saint Gertrude
