Vatican says Catholics can get indulgence for sick-day activities
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) –
A plenary, or full, indulgence is being offered to those who join the official celebrations of the World Day of the Sick in Seoul, South Korea, or in their own dioceses or parishes.
Plenary indulgences also can be obtained Feb. 11 by people who dedicate at least several hours that day to providing loving care for a sick person, especially one with an incurable or terminal illness, and by the sick themselves.
All those who want to receive the indulgence must go to confession, receive the Eucharist – or promise to do so as soon as possible – and pray for the intentions of the pope, all in a spirit of total detachment from the attraction of sin.
For those who wish to read it from the Vatican, click below, but unfortunately it is only available in Italian and Latin.
