It’s the first of the month so it’s time for the Indulgence Calendar at DaTechGuy Blog for any and all who wish to pray for and help out the souls in purgatory.
It’s also All Saints Day a holy day of obligation for Catholics as we honor the saints in heaven, the Church Triumphant who have fought and won the good fight that we the church militant are still fighting on earth.
Because it’s All Saints Day it also means that there is a special series of indulgences that we have earn every single day through November 8th either for ourselves or for the Church Suffering (the souls in purgatory).
Beginning today, continuing tomorrow on All Souls Day ( where the church remembers the souls in purgatory) and throughout the octave of this Holy Day of Obligation a Plenary indulgence is available each day for anyone who visits a graveyard and prays for the dead.
These indulgences are available under the normal rules: which are:
- Communion the day of the indulgence (covers all indulgences that day)
- Prayers for the intentions of the Pope (covers all indulgences that day)
- Confession within 20 days before or after the day of the indulgence (covers all indulgences during that period of time)
- MUST be in a state of grace at the time of the indulgence (no unconfessed mortal sins)
Also be aware that unless your death is imminent you can only gain one Plenary Indulgence a day so if you earned for say:
- Visiting the Blessed Sacrament for a half hour or more
- Reading scripture for a half hour or more
- Praying a group Rosary
then the indulgence you earn will be only partial.
Finally a plenary indulgence automatically becomes partial if you have any attachment to sin (that’s why they are so hard to get).
So if you’re a Catholic take advantage of these next 8 days, your soul and the souls in purgatory will thank you.
Anyways here is this month’s indulgence Calendars to download if you want.
