Chaplet of St. Gertrude for the Holy Souls
The Chaplet of Saint Gertrude is a devotion revealed by Saint Gertrude the Great (1256–1302), a Benedictine mystic known for her deep love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and her fervent intercession for the souls in Purgatory. Through this chaplet, the faithful offer the Precious Blood of Christ for the deliverance of souls and the consolation of the Sacred Heart.
In a vision, Our Lord revealed to Saint Gertrude that every time the prayer she composed is recited, “a thousand souls are released from Purgatory.” This divine promise reflects the infinite mercy of God poured out through the merits of His Passion.
The Holy See approved the Chaplet of Saint Gertrude in 1908, encouraging the faithful to pray it often for the Holy Souls and to renew their devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus.
May this sacred prayer inspire us to acts of reparation, charity, and love for the departed, drawing countless souls into the eternal light and peace of Christ.
