3. St. Mechtilde of Hackeborn
In the 13th century, St. Mechtilde, a Benedictine nun in Germany, received many visions of Jesus during her life. A book was written about her experiences and Jesus appeared to her one day, holding this book on his Heart with his right hand. He kissed it, and said to her, “All that is found written in this book has flowed from My divine Heart, and will return to it.” Jesus also said to her, “In the morning let your first act be to greet my Heart and to offer me your own. Whoever breathes a sigh toward me, draws me to himself.”
