HOW TO PRAY THE SAINT GERTRUDE CHAPLET (For the Release of Souls in the Purgatory)

 

The Chaplet of St. Gertrude for the Holy Souls in Purgatory is a wonderful prayer to pray in November, which is the month the Church has dedicated to remembering the holy souls in purgatory.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. AMEN.


The Holy Souls in Purgatory

What is purgatory? The Church teaches us that this is a place for souls who have died but who were not perfectly purified in order to enter into heaven. They have died in God’s grace, but their venial faults remained and they need to pay the debt owed for their transgressions.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a “purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven,” which is experienced by those “who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified.”
-CCC 1030

In the Gospel of St. Matthew, Jesus references purgatory when he says, “Amen I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny” (Matthew 5:26). We also see reference to it in the Old Testament as well, in the Second Book of Maccabees:2 Maccabees 12:39-46


St. Gertrude the Great and the Holy Souls

 St. Gertrude, the Great was a 13th-century nun who, after being orphaned at age 5, grew up in a monastery in Germany with the Benedictine nuns.

Her entire life was ordered around prayer and encounters with Christ, who gave her a glimpse into His Sacred Heart and the plight of the holy souls in purgatory.

St. Gertrude the Great received many private revelations about purgatory while in prayer.  In St. Gertrude’s revelations, she tells us that our prayers for the souls in purgatory are very effective in lessening their time in purgation. She teaches that we must pray these prayers with charity for the souls who are suffering in the afterlife.

St. Gertrude the Great’s prayer for the holy souls in purgatory is the prayer our Church continues to pray each November for more than 800 years!

The Chaplet of St. Gertrude for the Holy Souls in Purgatory repeats this beautiful prayer for holy souls 50 times, making it a wonderful chaplet for November.

APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

OUR FATHER
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

GLORY BE
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. AMEN.

On Each Decade say:
OUR FATHER
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

PRAYER OF ST. GERTRUDE (10X) :
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.

SACRED HEART PRAYER
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, open the hearts and minds of sinners to the truth and light of God, the Father.

IMMACULATE HEART PRAYER
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for the conversion of sinners and the world.

GLORY BE
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

PRAYER AGAINST FINANCIAL CURSES

 




Prayer Against Financial Curses


People: I invoke my natural law rights over my own property and finances. I lift any curses sent against me or my property or finances. I reject any sins that may have led to these curses coming against me and ask for God's forgiveness. I break any unholy bonds that allowed such curses to come upon me. I command the demons related to these curses to leave permanently and not be replaced by any other evil spirits. I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to receive now the entire and full right of disposing of these goods according to God's holy will. May she cast out any and all evil spirits, sanctify our goods, protect them from any future evil action, and use them for the glory of God.

I, N_____, a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose you, the Mother of God, this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your servant, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and in eternity.

Receive, O Blessed Virgin, this little offering of my servitude, in honor of and in union with, that subjection which the Eternal Wisdom deigned to have to your maternity; in homage to the power which both of you have over this poor sinner, and in thanksgiving for the privileges with which the Holy Trinity has favored you. I declare that I wish henceforth, as your true servant, to seek your honor and to obey you in all things. O admirable Mother, present me to your dear Son as His eternal servant, so that as He has redeemed me by you, by you He may receive me! O Mother of mercy, grant me the grace to obtain the true Wisdom of God; and for that end receive me among those whom you love and teach, whom you lead, nourish and protect as your children. O faithful Virgin, make me in all things so perfect a disciple, imitator and servant of the Incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ your Son, that I may attain, by your intercession and by your example, to the fullness of spiritual maturity in Jesus on earth and of His glory in Heaven. Amen.



[If a priest is present add the following:]

Priest: In the Most Holy Name of Jesus, by the authority of my priesthood, I invoke the keys of St. Peter and I ratify your breaking of each and every financial, business, property curse and all curses coming against you and your family affecting your livelihood, your property, your finances or any goods or any works. With that same authority, in Jesus’ name, I bind any evil spirits that may have attached themselves to you or harass you in any way as a result of these curses and I command them to leave you now and go immediately and directly to the foot of the cross for our Lord Jesus to deal with as he wills. Vade Retro Satanas. In the name of Jesus Christ leave them now. + Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
