Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great, whose feast day is Nov. 16, that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from purgatory each time it is said. The prayer was extended to include living sinners which would alleviate the indebtedness accrued to them during their lives.
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. Amen.
St. Gertrude the Great was born in Germany in 1263. She was a Benedictine nun and often meditated on the Passion of Christ. She did many penances, and Our Lord appeared to her many times. She died in 1334.
