Join us in this episode of the Latin Prayer Podcast as we explore the Prayer of St. Gertrude, considered one of the most powerful prayers of intercession for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. We dive into the history of St. Gertrude the Great, a 13th-century Benedictine mystic , and the profound theology behind offering the Most Precious Blood of Jesus in union with masses celebrated worldwide.

This episode also addresses the alleged tradition that this prayer releases 1,000 souls from Purgatory, clarifying the Church’s stance on these claims while affirming the prayer's immense spiritual value. Finally, follow along with a line-by-line Latin learning guide, analyzing keywords like Pater Aeterne (Eternal Father) and Sanguinem Pretiosissimum (Most Precious Blood) to help you memorize this act of charity for the faithful departed.
