Gertrud the Great (1256-1302) entered the monastery of Helfta in
eastern Germany as a child oblate. At the age of twenty-five she
underwent a conversion that led to a series of visionary
experiences. These centered on "the divine loving-kindness," which
she perceived as expressed through and symbolized by Christ's
divine Heart. Some of these experiences she recorded in Latin "with
her own hand," in what became Book 2 of The Herald of God's
Loving-Kindness. Books 1, 3, 4, and 5 were written down by another
nun, a close confidant of the saint, now often known as "Sister N."
Book 4 records Gertrud's many vivid spiritual experiences, which
took place on various liturgical feasts when she was too sick to
take part in the community's worship. Foregrounding visions of the
court of heaven and dialogues with Christ, the Virgin Mary, and
other saints, they further develop devotional themes already
present in the earlier books. Often profoundly indebted to the
liturgy of Mass and office, they have been carefully arranged
according to the ecclesiastical year by the medieval compiler.
