 | | Another writer of the Middle Ages, Richard of St. Victor (d.1173) taught that no sweetness or tenderness could be found that could be compared to that of the Heart of Jesus. |
 | | So great was St. Gertrude's love for the Sacred Heart that once, when St. John the Apostle appeared to her, she asked him why he did not write of the Sacred Heart. |
 | | Once, when St. Gertrude's friend, St. Mechtilde, was praying for a woman who was suffering, Our Blessed Lord said to St. Mechtilde that the woman should, with childlike simplicity, bring each of her troubles to Him and that she should seek consolation in His Compassionate Heart. |
