This book is a translation, the only one from the Latin, of the
Preces Gertrudianae, a manual of devotions compiled in the
seventeenth century from the Suggestions of Divine Piety of St.
Gertrude and St. Mechtilde, nllns of the Order of St. Benedict. Of
this work Alban Butler says, in his life of St. Gertrude, that it
is perhaps the most useful production, next to the writings of St.
Teresa, with which any female saint ever enriched the Church. Care
has been taken to preserve, not only the substance, but, as far as
might be, the form, of the original prayers; and a few others, well
known and much valued, have been added as an Appendix. Let us
consider this advice: When you are distracted in prayer, commend it
to the Heart of Jesus, to be perfected by him, as our Lord Himself
taught St. Gertrude. One day, when she was nluch distracted in
prayer, he appeared to her, and held forth to her his Heart with
his own sacred hands, saying: Behold, I set My Heart before the
eyes of thy soul, that thou mayest commend to it all thine actions,
confidently trusting that all that thou canst not of thyself supply
to them will be therein supplied, so that they may appear perfect
and spotless in my sight. Remember always to say the Gloria Patri
with great devotion. The hermit Honorius relates that a certain
monk who had been accustomed to say his office negligently appeared
to another after his death and being asked what sufferings he had
to undergo in punishment of his carelessness, he said that all had
been satisfied for and effaced by the reverent devotion with which
he had always said the Gloria Patri.
