A clean heart create for me, O God,<br />
and a steadfast spirit renew within me.<br />
Cast me not out from your presence,<br />
and your holy spirit take not from me.<br />
Give me back the joy of your salvation,<br />
and a willing spirit sustain in me.<br />
I will teach transgressors your ways,<br />
and sinners shall return to you.<br />
Free me from blood guilt, O Lord, my saving God;<br />
then my tongue shall revel in your justice.<br />
O Lord, open my lips,<br />
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.<br />
For you are not pleased with sacrifices;<br />
should I offer a holocaust, you would not accept it.<br />
My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;<br />
a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Enchiridion</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Indulgences</strong><br />
Be bountiful, O Lord, to Sion in your kindness<br />
by rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem;<br />
<strong>The</strong>n shall you be pleased with due sacrifices,<br />
burnt offerings and holocausts; then shall they offer up bullocks on your altar.<br />
A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who with repentant heart recite the psalm Have<br />
mercy on me (Ps 50).<br />
34. Novena Devotions<br />
(Novendiales preces)<br />
A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who devoutly take part in the pious exercises of<br />
a public novena before the feast of Christmas or Pentecost or the Immaculate Conception of<br />
the Blessed Virgin Mary.<br />
35. Use of Articles of Devotion<br />
(Obiectorum pietatis usus)<br />
<strong>The</strong> faithful, who devoutly use an article of devotion (crucifix or cross, rosary. scapular or<br />
medal) properly blessed by any priest, 3 obtain a partial indulgence.<br />
3 In order to bless an article or devotion properly the priest uses the prescribed fromula, if there is any; otherwise,<br />
he makes a simple sign of the cross toward the article of devotion, laudably adding the words: "In the name of<br />
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spriti".<br />
In practice, a formula is to be used in the public blessing of scapulars, while a sign of the cross suffices for other<br />
cases.<br />
