Quoted from Catholic Apostolate Center [1]:
St. Gertrude the Great was born on January 6, 1256 in the Holy Roman Empire. St. Gertrude became a Benedictine nun at a young age, when she wrote multiple texts involving her spirituality and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Christ. At age 25, she began to see visions and practiced “nuptial mysticism”, seeing herself as a bride of Christ. She was canonized in 1677 and her feast is celebrated on November 16. Pope Benedict XIV bestowed upon her the title “Great” to recognize her insight in theological and spiritual matters.
