Prayer Of St. Gertrude The Great.

[willguy]

I originally learned this prayer as "Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with all the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory." However, everywhere I look, it includes "for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home and within my family" at the end. I am wondering, did I learn this wrong? Are there two versions?. A couple sites I've visitied trying to find the answer have this:

Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great that this prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said.

The prayer was later extended to include living sinners as well.

Approval and Recommendation signed by M. Cardinal Pahiarca, Lisbon, Portugal 4.3.36

The Approval and Recommendation does NOT include the extension.

Are the added clauses this extention?

It sounds like the later clauses fit the description of the extension.

I have always heard it with the extension.

Were saving souls in Open Mic, I like the one posted there, just my personal liking, no clue if there are two though!

To answer your question, Yes, the clauses are the extension. :)
