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.

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.

It’s the 1st of the Month so it’s indulgence calendar time.

Remember if you have a deceased relative or friend you want included you can either leave the name in comments or post it on the WQPH radio prayer wall here and I’ll get it in next month.

It’s a great devotion and prayer for your loved ones and we don’t charge a cent for it.

I have today off but ended waking up a full hour before my normal work alarm quipped about it on twitter leading to a slightly comical exchange with Wombat from The Other McCain site which ended in this tweet:

I mention this because one of the great things about the Indulgence calendar is that it lists many of the ways one might earn a plenary indulgence which eliminates the need for purgatory.

Of course if one still has attachment to sin the indulgence becomes partial but even a partial indulgence lessens the time in purgatory as it advances the purification of the soul which is the purpose of purgatory to purify souls that are destined for heaven which have not reached the state necessary for entry.

So even if you don’t use the Indulgence calendar for it’s standard purpose take advantage of the list of indulgences and types to earn them for yourself.

Details on how indulgences work are listed there.

Think of it, simply reading scripture for a half hour or more carries a plenary indulgence. That’s the easiest way to get it done next to doing the stations of the cross.
