17. In cases of chronic infirmity, or physical impediment, the Confessor can commute the Communion for some other good work. And this has been made applicable to Communities. (September 18, 1862; January 16, 1886.)
VISIT TO A CHURCH OR PUBLIC CHAPEL
18. Separate visits must be made for two or more Indulgences. (February 29, 1864.)
19. If the Communion be made in a church or chapel prescribed, or available for the visit, special prayer said at the time of Communion satisfies for one visit. (Raccolta, p. xviii.)
20. The chapels of monasteries, seminaries, and convents, to which the faithful have not public access, are not available for the visit. (August 22, 1842.)
21. Confessors can commute the visit in the case of chronic invalids, or those who cannot go out. And this has been made applicable to Communities. (September 1 8, 1 862; June 16, 1 886.)
22. The visit may be made before or after the other acts, i.e., any time from midnight to midnight, unless otherwise specified, e.g., from first Vespers on the vigil to sunset on the feast. (May 19, 1759; January 12, 1878.)
PRAYER ACCORDING TO THE POPES INTENTION
23. The Pope’s intention always includes the following objects:
i. The progress of the Faith and triumph of the Church. ii. Peace and union among Christian Princes and Rulers. iii. The conversion of sinners. iv. The uprooting of heresy.
These intentions may be fittingly recalled and prayed for after Communion, or at the visit; but a general intention of praying according to the mind of the Pope is sufficient ; and any prayers may be used which are not already of obligation, e.g., the Little Hours of a priests Office. (July 12, 1847; May 29, 1841.)
THE DEAF AND DUMB
24. Vocal prayer is commuted for devout elevation of mind and heart. (February 16, 1852.)
25. At public Devotions, presence and a devout attitude of mind and heart suffice. (Ibid.)
26. Confessors can commute private prayers for other external works. (Ibid.)
27. Vocal prayers may be said by signs or mentally, or they may be read over without articulation. (July 16, 1902).
