A Lenten Prayer...




I thought I'd put this lovely prayer up in preparation for Lent. It can, of course, be said at any time, but would make a lovely spiritual work of Mercy for Lent.


According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that the following prayer, each time she piously recited it, would release 1,000 souls (or a vast number) from their suffering in purgatory:

“Eternal Father,
I offer You 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,
for those in my own home,
and in my family. Amen.”

Excerpt From a Commentary by Gretchen Filz (the Catholic Company)
