St. Elizabeth, queen of Hungary, with St. Matilda and St. Bridget, wishing to know something of the Passion of Jesus Christ, offered up fervent and special prayers. They then received an apparition of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, amoung other things, told them:

"To all those faithful who shall recite for three years, each day 2 Our Father's, 2 Hail Mary's, and 2 Glory Be's in honor of the drops of blood I lost, I will concede the following 5 graces:

  1. The remittance of your sins and a plenary indulgence. (This means not only are all of your sins forgiven, but you will be released from the obligation of making reparation for your sins.)

  2. You will be free from the pains of Purgatory

  3. If you should die before completing the said 3 years, for you it will be the same as if you had completed them.

  4. It will be upon your death the same as if you had shed all your blood for the Holy Faith. (In Heaven, you will receive the reward of a martyr.)

  5. I will descend from Heaven to take your soul and that of your relatives, until the fourth generation."
