Ambrose St John compiled and translated this 1910 edition of the Raccolta, a historical collection of indulgenced Roman Catholic prayers, now in the public domain and available through the Internet Archive. As a primary devotional collection it is a correct source for the actual wording of these historical Catholic prayers as printed at that date. Its limit is that it is a historical devotional compilation from a specific early twentieth century moment in Catholic practice, not a current statement of church teaching or indulgence discipline, both of which have been revised since, so a claim about present-day Catholic indulgence practice needs a current source rather than this 1910 collection.
