N.B.—Persons unable to read or otherwise hindered may substitute Pater, Ave and Gloria twice.
LET us pray also that for the most unhappy peoples of Africa, that Almighty GOD may at length remove the curse of Cham from their hearts, and give them that blessing which can only be obtained in JESUS CHRIST, our GOD and LORD.

(See Instructions, p. 1.)
Let us pray.
O LORD JESUS CHRIST, the one and only SAVIOUR of the whole human race, “who reignest from sea to sea and from the river unto the boundaries of the world,” open thy most Sacred Heart in mercy to those wretched souls in Africa who still sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, thy immaculate Mother, and of blessed Joseph her most glorious spouse, they may abandon their idols, and prostrating themselves before Thee, be admitted into thy holy Church, who livest and reignest, etc.
PATER, Ave, Gloria.
- Leo XIII, June 23, 1885; March 29, 1889.
