FROM THE THIRD ITALIAN EDITION AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED BY THE SACRED CONGREGATION OF HOLY INDULGENCES.

Imprimatur: ✠ JACOBUS, CARD. GIBBONS, ARCHIEP. BALTIMORENSIS. BALTIMORE, July 20, 1887.

Imprimatur: ✠ PATRICK JOHN, ARCHBISHOP OF PHILADELPHIA. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 8, 1900.

Moreover, Our Holy Father, Leo XIII., by virtue of his apostolic authority, has approved this Collection issued from the

press of the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda, and, therefore, it must be regarded by all as the correct and authorized collection of indulgences hitherto granted for all the faithful and for such as are in communities specially designated. Wherefore, if by chance any doubt should arise either as to sense of the grant or the conditions requisite for gaining the indulgences, it must be determined solely by this Raccolta which His Holiness has directed to be considered the complete guide. On this account he has ordered the present decree to be prepared and prefixed to the present edition. Given at Rome, at the office of the Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences and Holy Relics, on the 23d day of July, 1898. FR. H. M. CARD. GOTTI, Prefect. L. ✠ S. † A. SABATUCCI, Archiep. Antinoen. Secretary.

The Sacred Congregation of Indulgences and Holy Relics has approved of, as authentic, and permitted to be printed and published, this English translation of the Italian Raccolta, a book containing various prayers and pious exercises, to which the Roman Pontiffs have attached indulgences. This approbation was given after the work had been duly examined by two professors of theology of Woodstock College, who testified that they found this translation to be entirely faithful and in full accord with the Italian original, published in the year 1886 by the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith.

Given at Rome, at the Office of the Secretary of this same Sacred Congregation, April 28, 1887. FR. THOMAS MARIA CARD. ZIGLIARA, Prefect. [L. ✠ S.] ALEXANDER, BISHOP OENSIS, Secretary.

A Prayer to God for the Sovereign Pontiff. THE NEW RACCOLTA, OR, COLLECTION OF PRAYERS AND GOOD WORKS. TO WHICH THE SOVEREIGN PONTIFFS HAVE ATTACHED HOLY INDULGENCES. TO WHICH IS ADDED AN APPENDIX, CONTAINING PRAYERS FOR MASS, AND VESPERS FOR SUNDAYS. PHILADELPHIA, PETER F.

O Lord, behold us, millions of believers, who, prostrate at thy feet, entreat thee to save, protect and preserve unto length of years the vicar of Jesus Christ, the father of the great Society of souls and our father also. To-day, as likewise every day, he too prays for us, offering up to thee, with holy fervor, the host of love and peace.

Deign, then, O Lord, to turn, with an eye of pity, to us who, forgetful, as it were, of ourselves, are now praying especially for him. Unite our prayers with his and receive them in the bosom of thy infinite mercy as a most sweet perfume of the living and efficacious charity by which, in the Church, the children are united to the father. All that he asks of thee to-day we likewise ask of thee with him.

If he weeps or rejoices or hopes or offers himself as a victim of charity for his people, we wish to do the same with him, or rather we desire that the voice of our souls may be one with his. Grant, then, O Lord, we beseech thee, that not even one of us may be absent from his mind or from his heart in the hour in which he prays or offers to thee the sacrifice of thy blessed Son. And at the moment when our most venerated Pontiff, holding in his hands the very body of Jesus Christ, shall say to the people, over the chalice of benediction, “May the peace of the Lord be always with you,” grant, O Lord, that thy most sweet and gracious peace may come down, with a new and visible efficacy, into our hearts and upon all the nations. Amen.

His Holiness, Leo XIII., in an audience of his Majordomo, May 8, 1896, granted to the faithful who recite the above prayer

AN INDULGENCE OF TWO HUNDRED DAYS, once a day.
