Does this prayer bear a resemblance to the Divine Mercy by St. Maria Faustina?

Yes it does, Maya. In fact, I have a prayer card with the Divine Mercy Image on one side, & St. Gertrude's prayer on the other side.

You might have heard those claims of that prayer releasing 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it's said, but is likely not true. because if it was THAT easy, who would bother doing other stuff that's more difficult? with that said... I am not speaking out against that prayer, as it's still a prayer and it's good and all, but just don't take the releasing a bunch of souls from Purgatory each time it's said too seriously as here is a good article on this stuff that I read a while ago... www.romancatholicman.com/st-gertrude-prayer-releases-1000-souls-purgatory/ ; seems to condemn such promises. p.s. in fact, I pray that prayer six times after my daily Rosary and have for a while now. |

I am inclined to agree with you. I bought a copy of "The Raccolta", which is the collection of Catholic prayers with indulgences. I simply do not know how that was derived. I wanted a collection of prayers in one tome. I could not find the Imprimatur, but it was approved by The Holy See.
It seems to be fairly complete with 633 pages.
