St. Gertrude, born in 1256 in Germany, was a Benedictine abbess celebrated for her revelations concerning the Sacred Heart. Her writings are very important for mystical theology. She died in 1334.
The bad news is the German train drivers are on strike; the good news is that Tom still managed somehow to get to Salzburg and it now on his way here, although due to the difficulties he'll only make it as far as Amstetten (45 minutes from here). I'm leaving with a friend to pick him up in about half an hour. We are all very excited, and we might even let Maria stay up to see him! Speaking of Maria, here she is reading her favorite book. N is for St. Norbert...
