| 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. |

TO MARY MOST HOLY, VENERATED UNDER THE TITLE OF MOTHER OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE.
Immaculate Virgin Mary, mother of divine Providence, protect my soul with the fulness of thy grace. Govern my life, and direct it in the ways of virtue, to the fulfilment of the divine will. Obtain for me the pardon of my offences; be my refuge, my protection, my defence, my guide in the pilgrimage through this world. Console me in affliction; support me in danger, and in the tempest of adversity be my secure shelter. Obtain for me, O Mary! an entire renewal of heart, that it may become the holy habitation of thy divine Son, Jesus. Remove from me, weak miserable creature, all kinds of sin, negligence, tepidity, pusillanimity and human respect. Banish entirely from me all pride, vain-glory, self-love, and affection for things of earth, which interfere with the efficacy of thy patronage. O sweet Mother of Providence! cast a motherly glance upon me, and if, either through frailty or malice, I have provoked the threats of the eternal Judge, or grieved the most sacred heart of my amiable Jesus, throw over me the mantle of thy protection and I shall feel safe. Thou art the Mother of Providence, the Virgin of Pardon, my hope upon earth; mayest thou be to me mother of glory in heaven. Amen.
Three Hail Marys.
