13. The indulgences of the Roman Stations on days specified in Roman Missal on condition that one visit a church containing an altar of Our Blessed Mother and pray for the ordinary intentions. (If the Theatines have a church in the place, that church is to be visited.—Pius IX, December 3, 1847).

14. The indulgences of the seven Roman Basilicas twice a month (conditions same as last above).

15. Twice a month the indulgences granted those who visit the Holy Land and the Holy Sepulcher (conditions as in 13).

16. All the indulgences granted those who visit the seven Roman Basilicas, the Portiuncula Indulgence and the Jerusalem and Compostella indulgences, on condition that one recite six Our Fathers, six Hail Marys and six Glorias in honor of the adorable Trinity and of the Immaculate Mother of God, to obtain the exaltation of the Church, the extirpation of heresies and peace and union among Christian princes. By a decree of the Congregation of Indulgences (March 31, 1859), the indulgences of the seven Roman Basilicas, of the Portiuncula, of Jerusalem and of St. James of Compostella may be gained every time (toties quoties) that a member of the Association of the Miraculous Medal recites six Our Fathers, six Hail Marys and six Glorias, anywhere, without adding any other prayers and even without receiving the Sacraments (the state of grace, of course, supposed). All these indulgences are applicable to the souls in Purgatory. This decree of the Congregation was confirmed by Pius IX, April 14, 1856.

Partial Indulgences.
