hour of death, forming also the intention of gaining all the indulgences which thou canst. And again, on getting into bed, reflect that if thou hadst thy deserts, thou wouldst be lying down in the flames of hell; then, with the crucifix in thy arms, compose thyself to sleep, saying: " In peace, in the self-same, I will sleep and take my rest."
And here, in passing, I would briefly point out to thee the many indulgences which are attached to various prayers 'or acts of devotion. Whence it is desirable for thee, in the morning, to make the intention of gaining all the indulgences in thy power during the day. To one who makes acts of the three theological virtues mentioned above, of faith, etc., there are granted seven years for each day; and, by continuing them for a month, a plenary indulgence may be gained, applicable also to the souls in purgatory, and to himself in articulo mortis. In like manner, for the intention of gaining also all the indulgences granted for saying the Rosary on beads properly blessed, the Angelas Domini three times a day, the Litanies of our Blessed Lady, the Salve Regina, the Ave Maria, and the Gloria Patri: for saying, " Blessed be the holy and immaculate and most pure conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary:" as also for saying, " Praised now and forever be the Most Holy Sacrament:" for reciting the prayer Anima Christi, etc., for bowing the head at the Gloria Patri, and at the most holy names of Jesus and Mary; as also for hearing Mass; for making half an hour's mental prayer; to which, besides a partial, there is also a plenary indulgence attached, provided it be continued for a month, on condition of confession and communion in the course of the same; for genuflecting before the Most Holy Sacrament, and for kissing the crucifix. Always have the intention formed of gaining every such indulgence.
Then, that thou mayest be able to keep thyself
