The Raccolta: Or Collection of Indulgenced Prayers & Good Works

By Ambrose St John, Vatican Poenitentiaria Apostolica, Ambrose St. John

Book Overview

The Raccolta (literally, "collection" in Italian) is a book that listed Roman Catholic prayers and other acts of piety, such as novenas for which specific indulgances were granted by Popes. It was translated by Father St. John who was a convert to Catholicism and was one of the first books of popular devotion issued by the Fathers of the Birmingham Oratory, supplying them with the congregational prayers, still in use in their church, for the Stations of the Cross, for the 1110nth of May, the Triduo and Novenas in preparation for the Feasts of our Lady, and similar devotions. This Edition has been conformed to the latest Roman Raccolta, approved July 23, 1898, and the Supplement, approved July 31, 1902; and contains also the Indulgences and decisions since recorded in the Acta Sanctae Sedis up to the present time.

Great book

I've owned one before and it's a great little book. I'm getting older now, so I appreciate the short indulgence prayers, the longer prayers I seem to lose condensation while praying them.
