Chaplet of the Five Wounds

Ave Maria is added in honour of our Lady’s sorrows. The condition of gaining all these Indulgences is, that the Chaplets used should be blessed by the most reverend the Father-General of the Congregation of Discalced Clerics of the Passion (Passionists), or by some other priest of the Congregation to whom the General has communicated the faculty received by him; after they have been blessed, they cannot be sold or. lent, or given away to others, etc., for the purpose of communicating to them the Indulgences. (See Instructions.) Pius IX, August 11, 1851.
