Saint Gertrude prayer status

[Lilsheep88]

First and foremost, let me begin by saying that I love that prayer dearly and not a day goes by without me saying a couple. However, I was just wondering what the “Official” approval status of the Vatican on that prayer is… I know that it was approved and recommended by a Portuguese Cardinal in 1936, but what about the Vatican? And today? 2012? Is it really a thousand souls per recitation… If so, then its probably the easiest way to help them out

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.

Jesus said that he would release 1,000 souls each time this prayer was said, but did he mean that for St. Gertrude only or to anyone that said it??

Payers of Fatima:
The prayer of the angel of Portugal is very similar.

They could be the souls that are closest to being released that you help.

Maybe it is about faith and the way you pray it.

This is a very effective prayer. When I was praying it some years ago, I received an interior vision of a high school classmate whom I hadn’t thought of in years. He died in his early 30s due to a medical condition. When I saw his face (and I was “given” his name), he simply said, “Thank you.” My supposition was that he was one of the one thousand to be released. The prayer works!
