Why pray for the dead in Purgatory

 

http://www.americaneedsfatima.org/Articles/the-real-truth-abou= t-purgatory.html

 

Please help those in purgatory and have people pray fo= r you. Imagine the souls that you send to heaven from purgatory will be praying and giving

thanks for your intercessio= n for them. Help as many as you can. It would also give you a good feeling. Do you have friends and family who have

died, offer your prayers fo= r them.

 

The Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great

Another prayer Catholics should be familiar with= is that of St. Gertrude the Great (A.D. 1256-1301/2), who was told by Our Lord= in a private revelation, that when the following prayer is prayed earnestly, 1= ,000 souls will be released from Purgatory. Because of the desire to unite the prayer with the merits of the Mass, it is most powerful: =

The Prayer

Eternal Father, I offer Thee t= he 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 own family. Amen.
