It’s the first of the month and that means it’s time for the indulgence calendar.
Might I suggest this would make an excellent Lenten devotion.

Between this event coming up:
And the pending closing of my warehouse (What you thought Cape Cod Chips was the only company fleeing Massachusetts?) meaning that I have to find a job with health insurance (mandated by MA or a tax penalty thanks Mitt) at age 63 I confess I’ve been a tad distracted.
So here two days late is the indulgence Calendar for Feb which Ironically I had ready a week early.
Well in addition to a new year it’s a new month so of course we have a new Indulgence Calendar
And I want to remind everyone that the Jubilee year ends at midnight on January 6th so you have six days left to be able to get through the holy doors AND to take advantage of the late Pope Francis’ decree allowing you to earn 2 Plenary indulgences a day during the Jubilee year.
Remember the 2nd plenary indulgence for the day MUST:
It will likely be the last time you get a chance for a 2nd plenary indulgence in your lifetime so take advantage of it if you can.
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
