THE NINE PRAYERS OF SAINT GREGORY THE GREAT
In reverence to the Sacred Passion and Death of Our Lord
Jesus Christ
“The Maremagnum”
Holy Roman Pope
Pope Innocent VIII, granted the following indulgences to those who prayed the nine prayers:
Each day: 14,185,149 years of indulgence.
Each Friday: double the amount.
On Holy Friday: 8 Plenary Indulgences.
For those who cannot read or are very sick, they can pray 20 Our Father’s and 20
Hail Mary’s in front of the image of the saint, and will earn the same
indulgences.
Those who say 7 Our Father’s and 7 Hail Mary’s in front of the image of the
Saint: 50,000 years of indulgences and one Holy Friday, Plenary Indulgence.
Let’s give this gift to the blessed souls of Purgatory.
It may seem that the indulgences are great and it’s not necessary to pray them
often, but they become a fresh breeze in the immensity of Purgatory, and of the
great amount of souls which are there. Many people suffer and few pray for them.
Pray with tenacity and as frequently as possible.
FIRST PRAYER
My God Jesus Christ, I adore you hanging from the Holy Cross, your Head with a
Crown of Thorns. I beg you that Your Most Holy Cross delivers me from the evil
angel. Amen Jesus.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
SECOND PRAYER
Oh My God Jesus Christ, I adore you in the Cross wounded and sored, drinking
gall and vinegar. I beg you that the spear of Your Most Holy Side be a remedy
for my soul.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
THIRD PRAYER
Oh My God Jesus Christ, for that bitterness, that for me, miserable sinner, you
suffered on the Cross, mostly in that hour, when your Most Holy Soul abandoned
your blessed body; I beg you, Lord, to have mercy of my soul when I abandon this
mortal life; may you forgive it and guide it to Eternal Life. Amen Jesus.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
FOURTH PRAYER
Oh My God Jesus Christ, I adore you placed in the Holy Sepulcher, anointed with
myrrh and fragrant ointments. I beg you, Lord, that your death be a remedy for
my soul.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
FIFTH PRAYER
Oh My God Jesus Christ, I adore you and considering that time when you descended
to hell and released and freed in heaven those who were captives, I beg you,
Lord, to have mercy of me. Amen Jesus.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
SIXTH PRAYER
Oh My God Jesus Christ, who are seated at the right side of the Eternal Father,
I adore you for your holy Resurrection from the dead and Ascension into Heaven.
I beg you, Lord, that I may follow you and my soul be presented in front of the
Most Holy Trinity. Amen Jesus.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
SEVENTH PRAYER
Oh My God Jesus Christ, good Shepherd, conserve and guard the just, justify and
forgive the sinners, have mercy of all the faithful and remember me, sad and
miserable sinner. Amen Jesus.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
EIGHTH PRAYER
Oh My God Jesus Christ, I adore you and contemplating that on Judgment Day you
will come to judge the living and the dead, and to the good ones you will give
the glory, and to the bad ones eternal condemnation. I beg you, Lord, by your
Holy Passion, to free us from the sorrows of Hell, to forgive us, and take us to
the Eternal Life. Amen Jesus.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
NINTH PRAYER
Oh Most Beloved Father, I offer you the innocent death of Your Son and the great
firmness of His Heart for all the blame and sorrow that I, miserable sinner,
deserve and all sinners: for those enormous and grave sins of mine and of all my
brothers, live friends, and deceased. I beg you, Lord, to have mercy of us. Amen
Jesus.
One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
OFFERING
I offer these prayers to the merits of the Passion and death of our Redeemer
Jesus Christ, to whom I ask and beg to receive them in reduction and
satisfaction of my faults and sins, confirming to me what Saint Gregory and
other Pontiffs have granted to those who pray it in front of his image or have
it with them; and it is my will that God our Lord applies what seems to be
enough to release from Purgatory a soul that is there and which was more than my
obligation to His glory and of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, to whom I ask and beg
to be my advocate with her Divine Majesty. Amen Jesus.
PRAYER
Oh Most Holy Cross, Oh innocent and precious Blood, Oh great and cruel sorrow,
Oh poorness of Christ my Redeemer, Oh Sores so lacerated, Oh Heart trespassed,
Oh Blood of Christ spilled, Oh bitter death of God, Oh great dignity of God,
worthy of being reverenced. Help me, Lord, to reach eternal life, now and in the
hour of my death. Amen Jesus.
