All year round or just for easter?

[crystal_waters]

is the prayer ~“jesus i trust in you” from the divine mercy devotion an indulgenced prayer?..i know that the divine mercy devotion has indulgences around easter…but is that prayer indulgenced all year round?

My understanding is that their is not an indulgence for the Divine Mercy Novena, but a plenary indulgence can be granted on Divine Mercy Sunday, that is the Sunday following Easter. In order for the indulgence to be granted the faithful must be completely detached from sin, even venial sin, and fulfillment of three condition:

1. Sacramental Confession
2. Eucharistic Communion
3. Prayer for the pope’s intentions reciting the Our Father, Apostles Creed, and a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (For example, “Merciful Jesus, I trust in you!”)

If the 3 conditions are not met, a partial indulgence is granted.

A little more information on indulgences. A plenary indulgence can be granted only once on any day. Partial indulgences may be gained several times a day unless something different is explicitly stated. An indulgence may be used for oneself or for those in purgatory. It cannot be used on other living persons. There are many ways to be granted an indulgence whether partial or plenary.
