SEVEN GLORIA PATRI, ETC., SAID BY THREE PERSONS CONJOINTLY.
Pope Pius VI., besides approving of the devout exercise commenced in France, with the approbation and under the auspices of Monsignor Beaumont, Archbishop of Paris, of happy memory, granted, by a decree of the S. Congr. of Indulgences, dated May 16, 1784—
i. The Indulgence of 100 days, daily,
ii. The Indulgence of seven years and seven quarantines every Sunday, to all faithful Christians who, with contrite hearts, shall recite three several times a day (that is, morning, midday, and evening), seven Gloria Patri and one Ave Maria, to honour in such wise the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, the Incarnation of the Divine Word, and His most holy Mother Mary,
iii The Plenary Indulgence to those who shall recite every day, three times a day as above, seven Gloria Patri and one Ave Maria; to be gained twice a month, that is, on any two Sundays in the month, when, after Confession and Communion, they shall visit some church, and pray according to the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.
It is however requisite, in order to gain these Indulgences, that there should be a pious union of three persons, who shall agree amongst themselves to recite, either together or by themselves, the said seven Gloria Patri and one Ave Maria; and that, should any one of the three die, or in some other way fail to say these ejaculations, then the other two should find a substitute, so that this pious union may be always maintained.
