Prayers of the Saints
Hail, White Lily of the Trinity (St. Gertrude the Great)
Hail, white lily of the resplendent and ever-peaceful Trinity! Hail, brilliant rose of the garden of heavenly delights! By you, God, the King of kings, willed to be born and by your milk was he nourished. Nourish our souls with the outpourings of your divine influences. Amen.
St. Gertrude the Great, Herald of Divine Love
About the prayer
From St. Gertrude the Great of Helfta (thirteenth century), a Benedictine mystic. Her prayers are dense with Marian and Eucharistic imagery drawn from the Song of Songs. This one is often used at the beginning of the day as a Marian dedication.
