Saint and indulgence

[vince2paul]

Does anyone know the Saint whom Jesus(?) revealed that only he and an old lady in the church was granted plenary indulgence?

Thanks.

There is an account of St. Philip Neri, who died in 1595, preaching a jubilee indulgence in a crowed church. A revelation was given to him that only two people in the church were actually getting it, an old char-woman and the saint himself. Not exactly encouraging, huh? But don’t worry. If you aren’t perfectly disposed and can’t get the plenary indulgence, you’ll at least come away with a partial.
