Visits to the Churches of the Stations

The method prescribed to be used is as follows: First, to visit some church, and say there the prayers appointed in the book to the Blessed Sacrament, to the Blessed Virgin, and to the holy martyrs; then to go to the Church of the Station, saying on the way the Psalm Miserere, Paler, Ave, and Gloria, five times, and then the Steps of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ; and lastly, whilst at the Church itself, to say the Litanies of the Saints, with the versicles and prayers assigned, and at the end the Psalm De profundis, etc. All unlearned persons, however, and others who do not possess this book of the Stations, may gain the same Indulgences by saying at the two churches which they visit such prayers as their own devotion

suggests to them, and as are suitable to their capacity; and while they go from one church to the other they are to say a third part of their Rosary with the Litanies, and on leaving the Church of the Station to end their visit with the Psalm De profundis, or else with one Pater noster, one Ave Maria and a Requiem æternam for the holy souls in purgatory.
