Intercessory prayer for lost souls:
Has the Spirit placed on your heart to pray for lost souls? Isn’t that really what our journey is all about, the salvation of our own souls and walking the journey with others? I love to pray this prayer of St. Gertrude, a 13th century Benedictine nun and mystic who envisioned the release of 1000 souls from purgatory each time she prayed it:
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
