St Mechtild of Hackeborn, Benedictine mystic, d. Nov 19 1298. She received visions of Christ in which he left his imprint on her heart “like a seal in wax.” She had a great devotion to the humanity of Christ, the “door” by which all creation entered into union with divinity.

In one extraordinary vision she perceived that “the smallest details of creation are reflected in the Holy Trinity by means of the humanity of Christ, because it is from the same earth that produced them that Christ drew his humanity.” (Icon William Hart McNichols)
