Norm 26 of the Enchiridion of Indulgences states:
To acquire a plenary indulgence it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill the following three conditions:
sacramental confession,
Eucharistic Communion, and
prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.
It is further required that all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent.
If the latter disposition is in any way less than perfect or if the prescribed three conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence will be partial only, saving the provisions given below in Norm 34 and in Norm 35 concerning those who are “impeded.”
Today, I went to confession. Tomorrow, I’ll get a papal blessing on tv. After that, I go to Mass and receive the Eucharist. I pray for the Holy Father and for his intentions immediately after that. Do I still receive a plenary indulgence?
