Partial Indulgence


Invocations / Ejaculations 

A partial indulgence is granted to one of the faithful who, in doing his duties and bearing the trials in life, offers up the burdens to God with an invocation or ejaculation.

Here are some examples:

"My God, I love Thee."

"Blessed be God."
"Jesus, Mary, Joseph, save souls."

"Jesus Mary, I adore thee, save souls."

"Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee."

"Thy will be done."

"Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

"My God and my all."

"My Lord and my God."
