154. TIMES OF CALAMITY.
The following prayers and ejaculations are suggested to the faithful, that they may thereby have recourse to God to vouchsafe to free them, through the Passion of Jesus Christ, and through the intercessions of most holy Mary, from any scourge which they have too justly deserved for their sins; and to all who say them with a contrite heart and with devotion, Pope Gregory XIV., of holy memory, by a Rescript of the S. Congr. of Indulgences, Aug. 21, 1837, granted -
An indulgence of forty days, once a day.
PRAYERS AND EJACULATIONS.
Mercy of our God, encompass us, and deliver us from every plague.
Gloria Patri, &c.
Eternal Father, sign us with the Blood of the Immaculate Lamb, its Thou didst sign the dwellings of Thy people.
Gloria Patri, &c.
Most precious Blood of Jesus our Love, cry for mercy for us from Thy Divine Father, and deliver us.
Gloria Patri, &c.
Wounds of my Jesus, mouths of love and mercy, speak for us, in pity, to the Eternal Father; hide us within yourselves, and deliver us.
Gloria Patri, &c.
Eternal Father, Jesus is ours; ours His Blood, ours His infinite Merits; to Thee we offer ourselves wholly: then if Thou lovest Him, and holdest precious this gift we make Thee, Thou oughtest to deliver us; and for this we hope with fullest confidence.
Gloria Patri, &c.
Eternal Father, Thou desirest not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live: in Thy mercy grant that we may live before Thee and be ever Thine.
Gloria Patri, &c.
Salva nos, Christe Salvator, per virtutem sanctae crucis; qui salvasti Petrum in mari, miserere nobis.
Save us, Christ our Saviour, by the virtue of Thy holy cross; Thou who didst save Peter in the sea, have mercy upon us.
Mary, Mother of mercy, pray for us, and we shall be delivered; Mary, our advocate, speak for us, and we shall be saved.
The Lord justly scourgeth us for our sins; but do thou, Mary, plead for us, for thou art our most tender Mother.
Mary, in thy Jesus, and in thee, have we put our hope; O, let us never be confounded.
Salve Regina, &c.

Amen.

Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris nostri, et propter gloriam nominis tui libera nos; et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum.
Ps. 53.
Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac: * et in virtute tua judica me
Deus, exaudi orationem meam: * auribus percipe verba oris mei.
Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam: * et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me: * et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.
Averte mala inimicis meis: * et in veritate tua disperde illos.
Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi: et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.
Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me: * et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
Gloria Patri, et Filio: * et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper: * et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
V. Propter gloriam nominis tui libera nos.

Save me, O Lord, in Thy Name; and judge me in Thy strength.
O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth
For strangers have risen up against me, and the mighty have sought after my soul, and they have not set God before their eyes.
For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
Turn away evil from me upon my enemies, and scatter them in Thy truth.
I will freely sacrifice to Thee; and will give praise, O God, to Thy Name, because it is good.
For Thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, and mine eye hath looked down upon mine enemies.
Glory be to the Father, &c.
V. For the glory of Thy Name, deliver us.
R. And deal mercifully with our sins for Thy Name’s sake.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
