  • Prayer for Breast Cancer
In purgatory, the souls of many of those who have died in God’s grace undergo purification so that they may enter heaven.
The Prayer of St. Gertrude, below, is one of the most famous of the prayers for souls in purgatory. St. Gertrude the Great was a Benedictine nun and mystic who lived in the 13th century. According to tradition, our Lord promised her that 1000 souls would be released from purgatory each time it is said devoutly.


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.

So basically, if you think about it this way.......... figuring that the above prayer takes about 20 SECONDS to say......If  you chose to spend 1 less hour a day in front of the Computer screen, or TV screen, or Video Game and instead replaced that time period of  1 HOUR with reciting the above prayer..........
                                                    YOU could release 180,000 souls from purgatory EVERY  DAY!!!!
