The Life and Revelations of Saint Gertrude Virgin and Abbess of the Order of St. Benedict

2014 Reprint of 1952 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The Revelations of St. Gertrude" form one of the classics of Catholic writing. And although they would have to be classified as "mystical literature," their message is clear and obvious, for her work discusses the secrets of Heaven in terms that all can understand. Recorded here are St. Gertrude's many conversations with Our Lord, wherein He reveals His great desire to grant mercy to souls and to reward the least good act. In the course of their conversations, He reveals wonderful spiritual "shortcuts" that will help everyone in his or her spiritual life. Moreover, the "Revelations" actually open a window onto Heaven, where we can see the specific ways in which prayer, good works and liturgical celebrations on earth have very definite effects in Heaven.
