Sacred art
Statues and images
The portrait kept with St. Gertrude the Great is the image this library has of Gertrude. The honour goes to the person, and through the person to God. It is not a machine, and it is not a substitute for the life written below.
Thirteenth century. Devotion to the Sacred Heart before the later French flowering. The prayer that bears her name is still said for the dead.
Pray with Gertrude
