Details
Saint Lutgardis was a Flemish saint. Born at Tongeren, she was admitted into a Benedictine monastery of St. Catherine near Sint-Truiden at the age of twelve, not for any vocation but because her dowry had been lost in a failed business venture.She had a religious experience in her late teens and in 1194, at the age of twenty, she became a nun with a true vocation. Accounts of her life state that she experienced ecstasies, levitated, and dripped blood from her forehead and hair when entranced. She refused the honor of serving as abbess.At Aywieres, near Liège, she joined the Cistercians, a stricter order, at the advice of her friend Saint Christina the Astonishing. Although Aywières was a French- speaking community, Lutgardis was determined to speak Dutch.She was blind for the last eleven years of her life, and died of natural causes at Aywieres.
