vii. THE INDULGENCES OF THE STATIONS, to all religious of both sexes, as above, who, on the days of the Stations described in the Roman Missal, shall visit devoutly their own Church, and pray there as if they were making the visit personally to the Churches of the Stations in Rome on the days prescribed. viii. AN INDULGENCE OF FIVE YEARS AND FIVE QUARANTINES, to all religious of both sexes, as above, who shall say the Pater and Ave before the altar of their Church. The same Indulgence to those religious who, being for a legitimate reason away from home on a journey, or dwelling outside the walls of their monastery in the capacity of lecturers, preachers, &c., with leave of their superiors, shall say the Pater and Ave five times before any altar whatever. ix. SIXTY YEARS AND SIXTY QUARANTINES, on the last Sunday in the month, after Confession and Communion, or, if priests, after having celebrated Holy Mass, to all religious of both sexes, as above, who for an entire month shall make daily half an hour's mental prayer. X. THREE YEARS AND THREE QUARANTINES, to all religious of both sexes, as above, who, being contrite in heart and penitent, shall at Chapter, or whenever they shall hold spiritual conference together, say Mea culpa, accusing themselves of their sins, defects, and imperfections. xi. PLENARY, to every religious each time that, in obedience to the Sovereign Pontiff, and with leave of superiors, he goes into the countries of the infidels or heretics to preach the faith of Jesus Christ and instruct them, &c., after Confession and Communion, or, if a priest, after having celebrated Holy Mass, as well on setting out for his journey as on entering the aforesaid provinces or kingdoms. xii. PLENARY, to all religious of both sexes, when, on a General Visitation, the Superior sets up the Quarant Ore in the convents and monasteries of his order for the happy event of the same, as often as they make two hours' prayer at intervals before the Blessed Sacrament, for peace among Christian princes, &c., for the better observance of the rule and regular discipline; to be gained after Confession and Communion, or, in the case of priests, after celebration of Holy Mass. These are the Indulgences which regard all the aforesaid religious of both sexes in general; and according to the tenor of the said Brief of Paul V. they are also conceded generally to other congregations and colleges of religious men, as well as to monasteries, congregations, and communities of nuns who live without cloister, and with simple vows alone. In particular, however, every regular order, every convent, monastery, college, and congregation of religious persons of both sexes, enjoy many other Plenary and Partial Indulgences, of which we do not here undertake to make mention, inasmuch as our object in this Raccolta is to restrict ourselves to the mention of those prayers and pious works enriched with holy Indulgences, which are for the most part universal, and common to every condition of person.
