What Are These Wounds? the Life of a Cistercian Mystic Saint Lutgarde

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the mystical experiences of St. Lutgarde, a 13th-century Trappist, Thomas Merton offers a profound interpretation that highlights her significance in the context of Catholic spirituality. He connects her visions, including the pierced Heart of the Savior, to the later development of the Feast of the Sacred Heart and her role as a precursor to St. Margaret Mary. Rich in accounts of visions, stigmata, and miracles, this work appeals to readers interested in hagiography and the deeper spiritual insights of Merton.
