For your edification. This is a dramatised version of Chapter 3. If you would rather no dramatisation please leave a comment and I will get a non-dramatic version out. If you want both let me know that as well.

While this project may not need extra information I will add some as I either find it helpful, or necessary. l hope, God willing, to put these out daily. it shall not take away from the weekly uploads that I will continue to do.

Pious tradition states that a Poor Clare appeared to one of her fellow sistren stating this prayer allowed her to expiate sins while still living. This may be a good aid, but is no replacement for the sacrament of Confession and the penances given therefrom.

She is commonly called St. Gertrude the Great. This prayer of hers is said to release 1,000 souls from Purgatory. Regardless of the veracity of the previous statement,the poor souls need and want our prayers. May this gem inspire in you good works.

May this gem be of use to you.
