 The Sovereign Pontiff  Benedict  XIII,  by  a  brief,  Injuncta  nobis,  Sept. 14, 1724,  granted  a  plenary  indulgence, once  a month,  to  all  the  faithful  who,  every  day,  at the  sound  of  the  bell,  in  the  morning,  or  at  noon,  or  in  the evening  at  sunset,  shall  say  devoutly,  on  their  knees,  the Angelus  Domini,  with  the  Hail  Mary,  three  times,  on  any day  when,  being  truly  penitent,  after  confession  and  communion,  they  shall  pray  for  peace  and  union  among  Christian princes,  for  the  extirpation  of  heresy,  and  for  the triumph  of  Holy  Mother  Church;  also  an  indulgence  of one  hundred  days,  on  all  the  other  days  in  the  year,  every time  that,  with  contrite  heart  and  devotion,  they  shall  say these  prayers.

ail, holy  queen,  mother of mercy,  our  life,  our sweetness, and  our  hope;  to thee  do  we  cry,  poor  banished sons  of  Eve,  to  thee  do we  send  up  our  sighs,  mourning and  weeping  in  this  valley of  tears. Turn then, most gracious  advocate, thine eyes  of  mercy  toward us, and  after  this,  our  exile, show unto  us  the  blessed fruit of  thy  womb,  Jesus, O clement,  O  loving,  O sweet  Virgin  Mary!

V. Make  me  worthy  to praise  thee,  holy  Virgin.

R. Give  me  strength against thine  enemies.
