For which, besides the conditions of confession and communion, a

Indulgences for all the Faithful, even Such as are not Members.
For such as shall recite the Chaplet of the Precious Blood once in
the day, seven years and as many quarantines; and if they recite
it daily for a month, a plenary indulgence, having confessed and
communicated, on the last day of the month, or any day in the
following month. (Pius VII., Oct. 18, 1815.)
The same indulgence can be gained by the recital of thirty‐three
Our Fathers, meditating at the same time on the seven times Our
Lord shed His precious blood; or, by such as are uninstructed and
incompetent to meditate, by the simple recital of the thirty‐three
Our Fathers. (Gregory XVI., July 5, 1843.)
For the prayer, “O most precious blood, etc.,” placed at the end
of the Chaplet, three hundred days’ indulgence, once a day.
Chaplet of the Precious Blood.
This chaplet is composed of seven mysteries, in which we meditate
upon the seven times in which Jesus Christ for love of us shed
blood from His most innocent body; at each mystery, except the
last, we are to say five Our Fathers and one Glory be to the
Father, thus making up the number of thirty‐three Our Fathers in
remembrance of the thirty‐three years during which the precious
blood of Jesus flowed in His veins, before it was all poured out
for our salvation. The Chaplet ends with the devout prayer, “O
most precious blood, etc.”
The Chaplet.
_V._ Incline unto my aid, O God.
_R._ O Lord, make haste to help me.
_V._ Glory be to the Father, etc.
