VI.

They who recite devoutly the following prayers to the most Holy Trinity, may, every day, gain one hundred days' Indulgence ; and they who recite them daily, may, on one of the three last days of each month, gain a Plenary Indulgence, provided, that having confessed and communicated, they visit some church or public oratory, and pray for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff.

PRAYERS.

O FATHER! O Son! O Holy Spirit! O most Holy Trinity! O Jesus! O Mary be blessed for ever.

O Angels and Saints of heaven! obtain for me these graces which I ask through, the blood of Jesus Christ:

To do always, the will of God.

To keep myself always in the holy presence of God.

To have God alone ever in view.

To love God alone.

To do every thing for God.

To seek only the glory of God.

To labor at the work of my perfection, from no other motive than the love of God.

To be sensible of my absolute nothingness.

To know more and more the will of my God.

O most holy Virgin! O Mary! offer to the eternal Father the precious blood of thy divine Son, for the salvation of my soul; for the souls in purgatory; for the wants of the Holy Church; for the conversion of sinners and, for the whole world.
