How to help the souls in Purgatory
Prayer
The best prayer is The Saint Gertrude prayer, it is difficult to know which is the original as there are so many versions out there. I say the following "Dear God, I offer up all the masses said in the world since the last time I prayed this prayer, for the sake of souls in purgatory, peace in the world and the Holy Father's intentions. I offer it in union with the precious blood of Jesus Christ for the souls at risk of dying in a state of mortal sin".
I have found that this prayer seems to work because at times I have found God doesn't seem to be listening and so, I pray "If there are any souls in Heaven, who I've retrieved from Purgatory, please help with......." Quite often I'll get the request granted. Obviously you can't try to have 2 way conversations with the Holy Souls Remember, the mass is the most powerful prayer we have, however we can offer any prayer for them. They'll pray for us. Fasting and offering suffering is also effective. If we go to purgatory (which is very likely). Click here for more detail on the importance of Mass for the souls in Purgatory
