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.

Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter gloriam nominis tui, libera nos: et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum. Help us, O God of our salvation! and for the glory of thy name deliver us: be merciful to our sins for thy name’s sake.

Ps. 53.

Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac; et in virtute tua judica me. Save me, O Lord! in thy name; and judge me in thy strength.

Deus, exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe verba oris mei. O God! hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quæsierunt animam meam; et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum. For strangers have risen up against me, and the mighty have sought after my soul, and they have not set God before their eyes.

Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ. For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

Averte mala inimicis meis: et in veritate tua disperde illos. Turn away evil from me upon my enemies, and scatter them in thy truth.

Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est. I will freely sacrifice to thee; and will give praise, O God! to thy name, because it is good.

Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus. For thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, and mine eye hath looked down upon mine enemies.

Gloria Patri, etc. Glory be to the Father, etc.

V. Propter gloriam nominis tui, libera nos; V. For the glory of thy name, deliver us;

R. Et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum. R. And deal mercifully with our sins for thy name’s sake.

OREMUS. LET US PRAY.

Preces populi tui, quæsumus, Domine, clementer exaudi, ut qui juste pro peccatis nostris affligimur, pro gloria nominis tui misericorditer liberemur. Lord, we beseech thee, in thy pity hear the prayers of thy people; that we who suffer justly for our sins, may, for the glory of thy name, mercifully be delivered.

Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen. R. Amen.

Te ergo quæsumus tuis famulis · subveni, quos pretioso sanguine redemisti. We beseech thee, therefore, help thy servants, whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
