Is this a real indulgence?

[coolduude]

1. Reading of Sacred Scripture (Sacrae Scripturae lectio)
   A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who with the veneration due the divine word make a spiritual reading from Sacred Scripture.

A plenary indulgence is granted, if this reading is continued for at least one half an hour.

This is the link to the main site, with a list of indulgences: ourladyswarriors.org/indulge/plenary.htm

So is the quoted indulgence real? It seems almost too easy. Read Scripture for 30 minutes and all of my punishment gets removed

If it is true, I suppose I’ll do it though (I went to Confession earlier today)

Thank you,

Yep!

Say a little prayer to the Holy Spirit for some enlightenment before reading. I’ve started to make a habit of that.

A good article on indulgences. You don’t seem to understand the nature of indulgences. I hope you take the time to read this: fisheaters.com/indulgences.html

Don’t know if anyone ever mentioned this though - but not all indulgences are earned for you - some are earned by us for souls in Purgatory. At this time of year it seems a fitting way to celebrate.

Thanks for the article.

I know the basics about indulgences, but the one in the OP just sounded too easy, so that’s why I asked.

Thanks to the others as well

Yep, just be sure to pray for the pope’s prayer intentions, and get thee to mass, too! Yes, it is easy to get too. Jesus wants us to free others from purgatory, and He does not want to to be there for long ourselves and He wants us to go directly to Heaven without. Indulgences are a wonderful way for us to be merciful to others, too.
