In this episode, I cover how to build an Army of Saints praying for your family and building up your Domestic Monastery during the Octave of All Saints.

Here are all the topics we will cover and here's ⁠the article if you would rather read this, plus all the prayers⁠:

1. What is the “Octave” of All Saints?
2. What’s a Plenary Indulgence?
3. How Do I Gain Multiple Plenary Indulgences During the Octave of All Saints?
4. Who Do These Plenary Indulgences Go To? How Do I Build a Prayer Army of Saints for My Family? The Multiplier Effect
5. What are the Regular Conditions for Receiving a Plenary Indulgence?
6. What is the Prayer of St. Gertrude to Release 1,000 Souls from Purgatory?
7. Where is Purgatory in the Bible?

St. Gertrude the Great was an amazing Benedictine nun of the 13th century. Like St. Teresa of Avila, she was espoused to Jesus. Pious tradition holds that Jesus promised St. Gertrude that a thousand souls would be released from purgatory each time the following prayer is said devoutly:

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.

Jesus did not attach any particular conditions or requirements to the recitation of this prayer. The mercy shown to sinners in response to this intercessory prayer is just a direct gift from God.
