PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, pour down Thy blessings abundantly upon Thy Church; upon the Supreme Pontiff, and upon all the clergy; give perseverance to the just; convert sinners; enlighten unbelievers; bless our parents, friends, and benefactors; help the dying; free the souls in purgatory; and extend over all hearts the sweet empire of Thy love. Amen.
Indulgence: 300 days, once a day.
Pius X, June 16, 1906.

Divine Heart of Jesus, convert sinners, save the dying, deliver the holy souls from purgatory!
Indulgence: 300 days, each time.
Pius X, Nov. 6, 1906.

O good and merciful God, in a spirit of hum­ble resignation, I accept from Thy loving hands all the trials and sufferings of this day. I offer them to Thee in union with the sufferings of Jesus during His sacred Passion and on Calvary.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee. Mary our hope, have pity on us.

OFFERING
Eternal Father! I offer Thee the precious blood of Jesus Christ in satisfaction for my sins, and for the wants of Holy Church.
Indulgence: 100 days, every time.
Pius VII, Res. Sept. 2, 1817.
