Santa Gertrude la Grande - Mistica e Devota del Sacro Cuore - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Saint Gertrude the Great - Mystic and Devotee of the Sacred Heart - Painting by Dino Carbetta”
The painting of “Saint Gertrude the Great” captures the essence of this remarkable saint, born in 1256 in the Holy Roman Empire, highlighting her profound spirituality and deep connection to the Sacred Heart of Jesus... At age five, Saint Gertrude entered the Monastery of Saint Mary at Helfta, known for producing deeply devout women. Under Abbess Gertrude, the monastery became a beacon of prayer, nurturing a Christ-centered community. Saint Gertrude is known for her profound mystical experiences and theological insights, particularly her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and her prayers for the souls in Purgatory. At twenty-five, her life changed with her first mystical vision of Jesus, who called her to a deeper union with Him. From that moment, she embraced a life wholly dedicated to God. Her writings, including *The Herald of Divine Love* and *Spiritual Exercises*, became treasures of mystical theology, revealing deep insights into Christ’s love. Her legacy, particularly her devotion to the Eucharist and prayers for Purgatory, continues to inspire holiness. Though never formally canonized, Saint Gertrude received equivalent canonization in 1606, and her feast was added to the Roman Calendar by Pope Clement XII in 1677. This portrayal of Saint Gertrude emphasizes the depth of her spiritual journey. It invites reflection on her unique role in the Church’s history as a mystic and theologian. The serene expression on her face conveys her intimate union with God, while the light surrounding her highlights the divine wisdom and grace she received throughout her life. This painting honors Saint Gertrude while inviting all believers to seek a deeper relationship with Christ, as she did. Saint Gertrude’s prayer echoes her awareness of God's mercy and love: "Let the Abyss of Uncreated Wisdom invoke the Abyss of Omnipotent Power to praise and extol the amazing charity.”
