It’s the first of the month so that means a new indulgence Calendar

It’s also November so that means that from today Nov 1st all Saints Day to Nov 8th there is a daily chance to earn a plenary indulgence (under normal conditions) if you go to a cemetery and pray for the dead that day.

That’s actually what Halloween is All Hallows Eve the vigil for today, All Saints Day.

Let me note that the indulgence calendars always have blank lines included for each day to add on names. I mention this because Jazz Shaw a rather nice guy has just died and if you don’t want to wait till next month to get an indulgence for him since this month’s calendar was already set you can pencil him in any day you like or for more than one day.

Anyways here’s the Calendar.

DaTechGuy at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge Ma. Fr. Bob, Fr Alex and the Best Insurance Policy You Can Buy

Last Saturday was the feast day of the Apostle of Mercy St. Faustina who was a Polish nun who died at the age of 38 just before the start of World War Two. In her famous diary (you can read it here) she recorded her prayer life and her encounters with Christ, the Blessed Mother and occasionally the enemy and his minions.

There are five shrines to Divine Mercy in the US one in Lombard Illinois, one in Baltimore, One in Chicago, one in Kansas City Missouri, but the National Shrine of Divine Mercy is in Stockbridge Massachusetts near the NY border.

WQPH 89.3 FM Shirley / Fitchburg which hosts my weekly radio show Your Prayer Intentions hosted a bus trip to that shrine on St. Faustina’s feast day last Saturday I attended.

While there I took advantage of the best insurance a person can get for a person or family, perpetual masses.

In addition to a bus load of pilgrims from several parishes in the state and from WQPH we had two priests with us. One Fr. Bob Doughty I interviewed as we were preparing to get on the bus to return. He was in the process of anointing those who wished it and dozens came to him from all the various buses there.

And Father Alex who is from Nigeria who I sat down and spoke with upon our return.

Due to some bus issues it was a short day at the shrine but a fine one. It is very likely that there will be another such trip next year on Oct 4th. If you have an interest in going comment on this post and when things start getting rolling in April I’ll give you a heads up

This month’s indulgence calendar is now available for download. Pete Rose, the first player I drafted in my 1969 Dynasty League and who led my team to a world series that season and to a division title this season (1972) died yesterday so alas he will have to wait till next month to be included.

Remember if you have a family member or friend you want included on next month’s calendar simply leave the person’s name in comments and we’ll be happy to do so and also remember them in prayer on our weekly EWTN radio show Your Prayer Intentions.
