    Prayer to St Gertrude for souls in Purgatory: She said our Lord revealed to her that 1,000 souls would be released from purgatory each time the prayer is said. Pray: “Eternal Father, I offer You the most Precious Blood of Your 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” God bless us one and all! Thank you for sharing your faith with so many people.

      My husband and I pray this daily, and on the end, we add, "and for those who will die today"

      I’m sorry to tell you this but the claim that this prayer was revealed to save 1000 souls is simply false. I admire your dedication for this but please remember that no where in St. Gertrude’s biography has she mentioned specifically about that number. Though a great prayer, it cannot release 1000 souls by itself. If you do not believe me, please search on the internet and read credible Catholic articles about it. God bless!

    As a little girl, I’m now 66, my parents taught us that prayer for the Souls in Purgatory, which was Always said immediately after grace before our meal. Therefore, when my husband and I had our family, we also say the prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory after grace before meals. So happy to know that it is not only our family that does this.
    You are both grace filled. Thank you.

    Have you considered making booklets of your PowerPoint slides? Your videos are so rich with info, it would help to have a booklet of the entire season series (Lent, Advent) Maybe charge a small fee for a downloadable booklet at the end of each series. May God richly bless you and your work. You’re helping me grow in my faith.

    Oh I connect with you totally. I am reading glories of Mary too!!! Started with the devotions. Read it more than 20 yrs ago but Mother Mary has inspired me to go back.Today it is St Maximus the confessor from office of readings in Divine Office that made me stop and wade in the waters longer such a wonderful feeling so true what you are saying I have experienced it.Not to grumble , not to argue in everything lesson I learned . Jesus and Mary I beg for your grace.

    Yes, just like in the word of God says: “Come to me in humility “. To approach Hod, we must first humble ourselves, to the core. He cannot resist in great love for the humble. When we humble ourselves, we capture the divine Lord, he becomes a captive. God is a beggar. He is in love with humanity. He can’t help it. But Je only commutes with the humble, and never with the proud. He looks for the sincerity in heart. He can read our thoughts and even more than that, because He knows us better than what we know ourselves. But we should never miss use His mercy,

Still, knowing that He is burning in love with sinners, we must never miss use His mercy, because the time of justice is near.
    Lord by the power of your mercy, convert all sinners. Amen!

    Have you ever considered what the Son of God says?
    ""... your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come..."
    Matthew 6:8‭-‬9
    And...
    "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
    Matthew 6:6
    And insofar as meditation;
    "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night."
    Psalms 1:1‭-‬2
    "I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways.
    Psalms 119:15
    Hate to state the obvious but, you completely failed to include God's perfect and all powerful Word in your clip on meditation and prayer. You ignored the ultimate Source. In His Word God tells us, over and over, to meditate on his Word.
