Prayer of St.Getrude

  Posted on   by   No comments

Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great that the following prayer would release 1000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said. The prayer was extended to include living sinners which would alleviate the indebtedness accrued to them during their lives.
“Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most precious blood of Thy divine son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. AMEN.”
St. Gertrude the Great was born in Germany in 1263. She was a Benedictine Nun, and meditated on the Passion of Christ, which many times brought floods of tears to her eyes. She did many penances, and our Lord appeared to her many times. Her holy Soul passed away in 1334. November the 16th is her Feast Day.
