| Approval | 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. DECRETUM ANNI 1886. |

Angel Holding the Sacred Heart, hand-coloured woodcut, Low Countries, 1490–1510. Rijksmuseum.
Eucharistic heart of my God, breathing and palpitating beneath the veils of the most sacred species, I adore thee. Moved by a new love in the presence of the immense benefit of the divine eucharist, penetrated with regret at my own ingratitude, I humbly annihilate myself in the still greater abyss of thy mercies. Thou hast chosen me from my youth; thou hast not disdained my infirmity; descending into my poor heart, thou didst come to invite it to a mutual love, giving happiness and peace. And I lost all because I was unfaithful to thee, O my Jesus. I allowed my mind to become distracted and my heart to become cold; I listened to myself and I forgot thee. Thou didst wish to be my guide, my counsellor, the protector of my life, and I, allowing my passions to smother this sweet attraction, lost sight of thee and forgot thee. In the salutary pains of trial, in the joys of consolation, in my difficulties and my necessities, instead of having recourse to thee, I sought creatures and forgot thee. I forgot thee in the beloved tabernacles wherein thy love languishes; in the churches of the city wherein thou art insulted; in sacrilegious and indifferent hearts, and in my own guilty one, O Jesus, even before and after having received thee. Eucharistic heart of my Saviour, the delight of my first communion and during the days of my fidelity, I surrender myself to thee. Come back, come back, and draw me anew to thyself. Pardon me once more, and I will expiate all by the strength of my love. Glorious archangel S. Michael, and you beloved S. John, offer my reparation to Jesus and be propitious to me. Amen.
