How to Obtain a Plenary Indulgence for the Holy Souls
On All Souls Day:
From Noon yesterday November 1st, until Midnight today November 2nd, a plenary indulgence applicable only to the Poor Souls is granted to those who visit any Catholic church or public oratory and recite the Our Father and the Apostles Creed.
On Each Day of the All Saints Octave - November 1st to November 8th:
A plenary indulgence applicable only to the Poor Souls is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray (even if only mentally) for the faithful departed during the octave of the feast of All Saints.
- Conditions for Indulgences -
+ Only one plenary indulgence can be granted per day.
+ It is necessary to be in the state of grace (at least by completion of the work).
+ Freedom from attachment to sin (even venial sin; meaning attachment to a particular sin, not sin in general; otherwise the indulgence is only partial).
+ Confession (8) eight days before or after the indulgenced act.
+ Holy Communion (8) eight days before or after the indulgenced act.
+ Prayers for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.
