Hi. I wanted to ask just how many souls are released from purgatory when one prays a whole rosary (full 5 decades)? I’ve heard numbers quoted from 1,000 to 10,000, but no-where I’ve read has been able to provide me a definitive answer. Does anyone have any idea of the number of souls purgatory can hold? Is it possible to empty purgatory?

If it be God our Heavenly Father’s Will (to release the number of Souls Jesus chooses from Purgatory) while we pray for this intention; and if we trust and have confidence in Jesus to release the Souls He chooses from Purgatory to be released.

This is my own personal viewpoint and certainly not the viewpoint of what has been read on the subject.

When I am praying Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus *!

I Love envisioning Jesus and Our Lady Mary Mother of Jesus in my mind while praying The Holy Rosaries and feel myself coming closer to Jesus while picturing Him and our Holy Mother.

Not apparitions, not visions, just picturing our Heavenly Father and Holy Mother in my mind!*
 
there is no definitive answer, because no one can possibly know. Also Purgatory is not a physical place with a maximum capacity. Purgatory will hold as many souls as it needs to.

Just keep praying for the souls there and trust in God to release them when it is right to do so.

We don’t know and nothing we do dictates how many will be released at a given time no matter what some private revelations say.
Only God decides who, how many and when souls are released from Purgatory.
All we can do is to pray daily for the souls in Purgatory and leave the rest to God.
When people talk about the alleged high numbers that are released after certain paryers Purgatory must have been emptied long ago.
Don’t get hung up on numbers. Leave it to God.

If my prayers and sacrifices aids but one soul, Praise be to God!
 
We have no definitive answer because no one truly knows besides God how many souls are in purgatory or if our prayers help them that easily.

That’s what I thought when I heard such numbers quoted. I just wanted someone else to say what I said to myself when I read them, for my peace of mind.
 
No one knows for sure how many people are in Purgatory and no one knows how many souls are released from Purgatory when any prayer is prayed for them either. That is why the popular prayer to Saint Gertrude which claims to release a 1000 souls from Purgatory kind of bothers me. We have no idea how many souls will be released from Purgatory when we pray that or any prayer for them. Only God knows.
