First--does anyone happen to have the Latin for the last sentence?
Second--what you've given is essentially what I knew as the Ave. What I'm
trying to confirm is that *it* was what was meant when Aves were assigned as
penance, rather than a longer devotion that perhaps I hadn't heard about
(like the Rosary, a devotion I know quite a lot about--something consisting
of many repetitions of the basic prayer)
Is that correct?
