 the Sacred  Congregation  of  Indulgences,  Aug. 11, 1824, confirmed  forever  an  indulgence  of  100 days,  once  a  day,  to  all  those  who,  with  at  least contrite  heart  and  devotion,  shall  say  these prayers.

ARY, mother  of  God  and  mother  of mercy,  pray  for  me  and  for  the  departed.

His Holiness, Pope  Leo  XIII,  by  a  rescript  of his  Eminence  the  Cardinal  Vicar,  Dec. 15, 1883, granted  to  all  the  faithful  who  devoutly  and  with contrite  hearts  recite  the  above  ejaculation,  an indulgence  of  100  days,  once  a  day.

emember, most  pure  spouse  of Mary  ever  virgin,  my  loving  protector, St.  Joseph,  that  never  has  it  been heard that  anyone  ever  invoked  thy  protection, or  besought  aid  of  thee,  without being consoled. In this  confidence  I  come before thee,  I  fervently  recommend  myself to thee. Despise not  my  prayer,  foster-father  of  our  Redeemer,  but  do  thou  in thy  pity  receive  it. Amen.

Indulgence, 300 days,  once  a  day. — Pius IX, June  26,  1863.
