I'm Devin Rose, creator of this website and the Pray mobile app. I'm so glad to see that you are praying novenas!
Did you know that novenas are just one traditional Catholic practice that is key to transforming Catholics into saints?

In my new book Lionheart Catholic, I reveal 19 additional practices I've discovered over the last twenty years that every Catholic should be following in order to become a saint.
I'll even mail you a copy of the book for free as long as you pay for shipping.

What Did St. Gertrude Do?
St. Gertrude the Great was a Benedictine nun and mystic who was given visions from our Lord and powerful prayers.
She was born on Epiphany January 6th, 1256, in Thuringia (now Germany). As a little girl, she was given into the care of the monastery of St. Mary at Helfta and taught by St. Mechtilde on a wide array of subjects.
When she was 25 years old, Jesus began giving her a series of visions, which continued for the rest of her life.
She left aside secular learning and devoted herself to Mental Prayer and the study of Godβs Word in Scripture, as well as theology.
St. Gertrude died on November 16th, 1301.
According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited this prayer, it would release 1,000 souls from their suffering in purgatory.
