R. Amen.

His Holiness,  Leo  XIII,  by  his  Encyclical  Supremi Apostolatus, Sept.  i,  1883,  and  by  a  decree  of  the S. Congr. of Rites,  Aug.  20,  1885,  had  granted  and confirmed some  Indulgences  for  the  saying  of  the Rosary during  the  month  of  October;  then  by  a  rescript of  the  S.  Congr. of Indulgences,  July  23,  1898, he made  them  perpetual  and  modified  them,  granting to the  faithful  who,  during  the  said  month,  publicly  in church  or  privately  anywhere,  recite  at  least  a  third part of  the  Rosary,  an  indulgence  of  7  years  and  7 quarantines on  each  day  of  that  month;  a  plenary indulgence on  the  feast  of  Our  Lady  of  the  Rosary,  or on  any  one  day  of  its  octave,  to  those  who,  both  on  the feast itself  and  on  every  day  of  its  octave,  shall  have recited at  least  a  third  part  of  the  Rosary  on  the  usual conditions: confession,  communion,  and  a  visit  to  some church or  public  oratory  and  there  praying  according to the  intention  of  the  Pope. A plenary  indulgence, on any  one  day,  to  those  who,  after  the  said  octave, shall have  recited  at  least  the  third  part  of  the  Rosary for ten  days  during  the  same  month,  on  the  same  conditions.
