 Jesus rises  the  third  day,  and  visits  first  of  all  his  most holy Mother,  Mary. Hail Mary.

1. Appears  to  the  three  Marys,  and  bids  them  tell  the disciples they  have  seen  him  risen  from  the  dead. Our Father.

2. Appears  to  the  disciples,  shows  them  his  most  holy wounds, makes  Thomas  touch  them. Our Father.

3. The  fortieth  day  after  his  resurrection  blesses  most holy Mary  his  Mother  and  all  his  disciples;  then  ascends into heaven. Our Father.

Let us  pray  to  the  most  holy  Virgin  to  obtain  for  us also  the  blessing  of  her  Divine  Son  Jesus  Christ,  now  and at the  hour  of  our  death. Hail Mary.

Let us  say  "I  believe,"  &amp;c. in honour  of  the  holy Apostles.

Plenary Indulgence  (1)  once  a  year  on  any  one  day  to  any one who,  after  Confession  and  Communion,  shall  have  made a practice  of  saying  it  at  least  four  times  a  week;  (2)  once  a month  to  any  one  who  shall  have  said  it  every  day  for  a month,  and  shall  then,  being  penitent,  after  Confession  and Communion, pray  for  the  usual  intentions;  (3)  in  the  article of death  to  any  one  who,  being  penitent  and  having  confessed, shall  then  invoke,  at  least  with  his  heart  if  he  cannot do so  with  his  lips,  the  most  holy  name  of  Jesus,  provided  he has  said  the  above-mentioned  Chaplet  once  during  his  illness with the  intention  of  gaining  this  indulgence.

In order  to  increase  the  devotion  of  the  faithful  to  Jesus and Mary  by  invoking  their  most  holy  names,  together  with the name  of  St.  Joseph,  for  the  purpose  of  recommending  to them  the  last  moments  of  this  life,  on  which  our  eternity  depends, Pius  VII.,  by  a  decree  of  the  S.  Congr. of Indulgences, dated April  28,  1807,  granted  an  indulgence  of  300  days  to any  one,  as  often  as  he  says  devoutly,  and  with  a  contrite heart, the  three  following  ejaculations:

Jesus, Joseph,  Mary,  I  offer  you  my  heart  and  my soul.
