October Indulgence Calendar. Pete Rose will Have to Wait Till November
Posted: October 1, 2024 by datechguy in baseball, catholic, catholic devotionsTags: catholic, indulgence calendar, pete Rose, prayer
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.
The August Indulgence Calendar and a Tip for Stacy’s Friend Wombat
Posted: August 1, 2024 by datechguy in catholic, catholic devotionsTags: catholic, catholic prayer, indulgence calendar, prayer
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.
