| 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. |

The Bedford Master, Pentecost, book of hours, about 1420. Cleveland Museum of Art.
Thou seest, O Lord, how on all sides storms are raging and the angry sea is raising its tumultuous billows. Do thou, we beseech thee, for thou alone canst, command the winds and the sea, give back to the human family the true peace which the world cannot give, the tranquillity of order. Grant, namely, that men may, by the impulse of thy grace, return to due order, by a renewal in their hearts of piety towards God, of justice and charity towards one another, of temperance in themselves, with due subjection of the lower appetites to reason. Thy Kingdom come; and may those who are seeking with fruitless labor, far from thee, to find truth and salvation, come to understand that their only hope lies in subjection and service to thee. In thy laws are justice and fatherly kindness; and thou dost freely bestow upon us, through thy grace, the strength to observe them. The life of man on earth is a warfare, but thou “art witness of the combat, and helpest man to conquer, and givest strength to the faltering and crownest him when he overcomes.”
His Holiness, Leo XIII., by a rescript of the S. Congr. of Indulgences, Jan. 19, 1889, granted to the faithful who recite the above prayer
AN INDULGENCE OF TWO HUNDRED DAYS, once a day.
