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 />
