Just a reminder to all of you who are interested in indulgences, that we have an opportunity to gain a wonderful plenary indulgence today and tomorrow.

THE PORTIUNCOLA INDULGENCE

The Indulgence, if the person gaining it is free from every sin including venial sin, remits all the temporal punishment due to sin and may be applied to the person himself or herself or to a soul in Purgatory. If there is any adherence to sin in the person gaining the Indulgence, the Indulgence becomes partial.

The Indulgence may now be gained in any public or semi-public oratory in the world beginning from noon August 1 until midnight ending on August 2 (that is, any church or chapel open to the public). It cannot be gained in a private chapel. The person wishing to gain the Indulgence must fulfill the following requirements:

a. Intend to gain the Indulgence

b. Be detached from all sin

c. While in the church pray one Our Father, one Apostle’s Creed, and one other prayer of the individual’s choice

d. Pray for the intentions of the Pope (prayerfully saying an Our Father and a Hail Mary will suffice although other prayers may be said)

e. Receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist within one week either before or after August 2.

May we all take advantage of the graces afforded by this Indulgence.

Thank you!
Is there any website listing the date of indulgences?

Thanks, but I meant to have a website containing all different indulgences and the dates.

btw, I went to mass to day for the intention of receiving the Portiuncola Indulgence. Thank you!

Oh, I see what you mean. I have found this site very useful. If anyone knows another one, please let me know.

I went out to lunch with a friend today and invited her to Confession and Mass with me for the indulgence. She came along and it was great! Thanks for the heads-up!

I didn’t know about this (I’ve been a Catholic for only 2 years), but I went to Confession today at OLAMShrine, and the Father told me about it and made it my penance.

Thank you, St. Francis.

Good for him! I wish priests did a better job informing us about indulgences, etc. I really knew nothing about them until the last year or so, and I started learning about them on this site, and other Catholic sites. I think they are such wonderful gifts that our chuch offers to us, and it really shows the mercy of our Lord. He wants us to get to Heaven to be with Him as soon as possible! He really doesn’t want us to spend a moment longer than necessary in Purgatory. (I don’t think we do, either).
 
Thanks for the reminder!

I made it just in time to the Poor Clares Monastery where all-night Adoration for First Friday was taking place.

Indulgences are wonderful, aren’t they?
