The Chaplet of Saint Gertrude the Great


The Chaplet of Saint Gertrude the Great
(said on ordinary Rosary beads)

Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said. The prayer was extended to include living sinners as well. Begin with the Apostles' Creed, one Our Father, three Hail Mary's and a Glory Be to the Father.

On each large beads: The Our Father 

On each small beads:
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. 

At the end of each decade:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, open the hearts and minds of sinners to the truth and light of God, the Father. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for the conversion of sinners and the world.

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.
