One of the most powerful prayers to Saint Gertrude is the “Prayer to St. Gertrude for the Souls in Purgatory.” This prayer is believed to have the power to release souls from purgatory and bring them to heaven. It is a simple yet powerful prayer that can be prayed by anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation.
The prayer goes like this:
“O 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.”
This prayer is believed to have originated from a vision that Saint Gertrude had of Jesus, who revealed to her the immense power of His Blood to liberate souls from purgatory. St. Gertrude was also given a promise that whoever prayed this prayer would obtain the release of a hundred thousand souls from purgatory.
While the prayer is primarily focused on the souls in purgatory, it can also be prayed for sinners everywhere, both within and outside of the Church. This prayer reminds us of the importance of praying for the salvation of souls and of the power of the Mass to bring about their release from purgatory.
