Saint Gertrude the Great

Feast: Nov 16 Born: 1256 Died 1334

St. Gertrude's life was the mystic life of the Cloister, a Benedictine nun. She meditated on the Passion of Christ, which many times brought a flood of tears to her eyes. She did many penances and Our Lord appeared to her many times. She had a tender love for the Blessed Virgin and was very devoted to the suffering souls in Purgatory.

Our Lord dictated the prayer below to St. Gertrude the Great to release 1,000 Souls from Purgatory each times it is said.

Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great

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.
