Catholic Family Vignettes

Let us remember the Holy Souls, who rely on us for prayers and sacrifices:

Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great - A prayer which would release 1,000 souls from purgatory each time it is said.

"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, those in my own home and within my family. - Amen"

V. Eternal rest grant unto them (him, her), O Lord.
R. And may perpetual light shine upon them (him, her).
V. May the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
R. Amen.
