Here is the Indulgence Calendar for November:

And if you read this page you’ll know that for the next eight days there are special plenary indulgences available:

Visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead always carries a partial indulgence but carries a Plenary Indulgence if done from today Nov 1st through Nov 8th

Furthermore there is a Plenary Indulgence for visiting ANY church on all souls day (Nov 2)

And to top that off, because of the jubilee year you can earn TWO plenary indulgences a day rather than the normal 1

So you are in a position to earn a plenary indulgence for a loved one AND for yourself every single day this week through next Saturday.

And remember a plenary indulgence removes ALL temporal punishment for sins already forgiven so if applied to a soul in purgatory it finishes the job and gets them to heaven and if applied to yourself removes (from that point) any time due in Purgatory for sins already confessed and forgiven.

Remember God’s mercy keeps you from Hell (That’s being saved) God’s justice requires restitution for your sins and purification from the effects of those sins as something imperfect can’t enter heaven (Thus Purgatory) or as Christ himself put it:

If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate, make an effort to settle the matter on the way; otherwise your opponent will turn you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the constable, and the constable throw you into prison.

I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”

Luke 12:58-59 Emphasis mine


All Saints Day and 8 Easy Plenary Indulgence Chances (You can Pencil in Jazz Shaw into the November Indulgence Calendar if you don’t want to wait for December)

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.

Eight Days of Indulgences and the November Indulgence Calendar as Well

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:

  1. Communion the day of the indulgence (covers all indulgences that day)
  2. Prayers for the intentions of the Pope (covers all indulgences that day)
  3. Confession within 20 days before or after the day of the indulgence (covers all indulgences during that period of time)
  4. 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.

Because it is November there are special Plenary Indulgences available.

Every year from Nov 1st (Today All Saints Day) through Nov 8th the partial indulgence for visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead becomes a full Plenary indulgence (under the normal conditions listed above). In addition to this tomorrow Nov 2nd (All Souls day) a Plenary indulgence can be earned by simply visiting a church.

Normally this indulgence returns to a partial indulgence after the 8th but Pope Francis has graciously extended the chance to earn a Plenary Indulgence for visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead for the entire month of November.

This is actually very similar to what he did when he declared a holy year (normally every 25 years) about a decade ago making the indulgences and graces of such a year available a full decade early. In my opinion this act, along with his warnings on the reality of the Devil they have been the highlights of his papacy.

So take advantage of Francis’ excellent extension of this annual grace to gain a Plenary Indulgence for a soul in purgatory and remember to take advantage of all the partial indulgences available on a daily basis.

The soul you save just might be your own.
