More About St. Gertrude
What Did St. Gertrude Do?
St. Gertrude the Great was a Benedictine nun and mystic who was given visions from our Lord and powerful prayers.
She was born on Epiphany January 6th, 1256, in Thuringia (now Germany). As a little girl, she was given into the care of the monastery of St. Mary at Helfta and taught by St. Mechtilde on a wide array of subjects.
When she was 25 years old, Jesus began giving her a series of visions, which continued for the rest of her life.
She left aside secular learning and devoted herself to Mental Prayer and the study of God’s Word in Scripture, as well as theology.
St. Gertrude died on November 16th, 1301.
According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited this prayer, it would release 1,000 souls from their suffering in purgatory.
