The Stigmatists: St. Lutgardis - The Nun Who Held Christ's Heart

St. Bernard of Clairvaux is one of the reasons we associate Christian Mysticism with the love of God. Here I discuss one of his most accessible works On Loving God, and cover his four degrees on loving God.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux isn't just one of the most important figures in Catholic history, but really, all of history. He held political influence over popes and kings, but also defined a love-based mysticism, and a Marian devotion that we still follow today.

St. Gemma Galgani is a newer saint, both in history and to me personally. Though, she's easily becoming one of my favorite stigmatists and potentially mystics overall.

St. Lutgardis is a fascinating saint, mystic and stigmatist. She was the second reported stigmatist of the church, and was the first woman to receive the stigmata. Her story surrounding her apparitions of Jesus and His heart, were also precursors to the Sacred Heart devotion.
