SMALL MANUAL OF INDULGENCES FOR THE USE OF THE FAITHFUL

EXCERPT FROM THE INDULGENCE MANUAL

VATICAN PUBLISHING LIBRARY

VATICAN CITY

The following is taken from the Enchiridion indulgentiarum or Handbook of indulgences, published in Acta Apostolicae Sedis on July 29, 1968.

The Holy Mother Church, while again recommending to its faithful the use of indulgences, as a very dear thing to the Christian people for many centuries and also in our day, according to experience, does not intend to diminish the value of the other means of sanctification and purification and first of all the sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments, especially of the sacrament of penance. Nor does it want to diminish the importance of those abundant aids, which are the sacramentals, and of works of piety, penance, charity. All these means have in common that the more effectively they cause sanctification and purification the more closely the faithful unite themselves to Christ the head and the body of the Church with charity. The pre-eminence of charity in Christian life is also confirmed by indulgences. In fact, indulgences cannot be acquired without a sincere conversion and without union with God, to which is added the accomplishment of the prescribed works. The order of charity is therefore preserved, in which the remission of the penalties for the distribution of the Church's treasure is inserted.

Indulgence is the remission before God of the temporal punishment for sins, already remitted as regards guilt, that the faithful, duly disposed of and under certain conditions, acquires through the intervention of the Church, which, as minister of redemption, authoritatively dispenses and applies the treasure of the satisfactions of Christ and the Saints.

The indulgence is partial or plenary according to the fact that it partially or totally frees from the temporal punishment due for sins.

Nobody can apply the indulgences he buys to others who are still alive.

Indulgences, both partial and plenary, can be applied to the dead by way of suffrage.

The granting of a partial indulgence is indicated only with the words "Partial indulgence", without any determination of days or years.

The faithful, who at least with a contrite heart performs an action to which partial indulgence is attached, obtains, in addition to the remission of the temporal punishment that he perceives with his action, as much remission of punishment for Church intervention.

Plenary indulgence can only be purchased once a day.

However, the faithful can acquire the plenary indulgence in article mortis even if they have already purchased another plenary indulgence on the same day.

Partial indulgence, on the other hand, can be purchased several times a day, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

The work prescribed to gain the plenary indulgence attached to a church or an oratory consists in the devoted visit of these sacred places, reciting in them a Our Father and a Creed.

To acquire the plenary indulgence it is necessary to perform the indulgent work and fulfill three conditions: sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer according to the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff. It is also required that any affection to sin, even venial, be excluded.

If the full provision is lacking or the three conditions are not laid, the indulgence is only partial, except for what is prescribed in rules 34 and 35 for the disabled.

The three conditions can be fulfilled several days before or after having completed the prescribed work; However, it is convenient that communion and prayer according to the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff be made on the same day on which the work is done.

With a single sacramental confession, several plenary indulgences can be purchased; instead, with a single Eucharistic communion and a single prayer according to the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff, only one plenary indulgence can be acquired.

The condition of prayer is fully fulfilled according to the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff, reciting, according to his intentions, a Our Father and a Hail Mary; however, freedom is left to individuals to recite any other prayer according to the piety and devotion of each.

An indulgence cannot be acquired with a work which one is obliged to perform by law or precept, unless the contrary is expressly stated in the concession. However, those who perform a work that has been enjoined on them as sacramental penance can at the same time satisfy penance and acquire the indulgence attached to that work.

The indulgence attached to a prayer can be purchased in any language it is recited, provided that it is true of the faithfulness of the version for declaration or of the Sacred Penitentiary or of one of the Ordinaries or Hierarchs of the places where that language is commonly spoken.

To purchase the indulgence attached to a prayer, simply recite it alternately with another or follow it mentally while another recites it.
