MARY.

Delivery, saying to her these forty Angelical Salutations and forty Benedictions, thereby to obtain her powerful aid at the hour of our death, and a true contrition for our sins, that so we may pass from this land of our pilgrimage to eternal joys.

For the other days.

Still will we praise the great Mother of our God, in honour of her Sacred Delivery, with these forty Angelical Salutations and forty Benedictions, to obtain thereby her powerful aid at the hour of our death, and true contrition for our sins, that so we may pass &om this land of our pilgrimage to eternal joys.

For the last day.

To-day we shall end this exercise, praising yet once again the great Mother of our God, in honour of her Sacred Delivery, with these forty Angelical Salutations and forty Benedictions, thereby to obtain her powerful aid at the hour of our death, and true contrition for our sins, that so we may pass from this land of our pilgrimage to eternal joys.

FOR THE FIRST DECADE.

Whilst saying the first ten Ave Maria and ten Benedictions, we will meditate on the ineffable mystery of the Incarnation of the Eternal Word, and the great dignity of the Virgin who was elected to be the Mother of the Highest.

Ave Maria ten times, and after each Ave say

Blessed be that hour, Mary, when thou didst become Mother of Jesus, Son of God.
