The Jubilee Vatican decree lists the corporal and spiritual works and presents many ways to put them into practice.
The Jubilee Vatican decree lists the corporal and spiritual works and presents many ways to put them into practice.
The Vatican has detailed how to obtain plenary indulgences — removing temporal punishment for sin through Christ’s merits — during the 2025 Jubilee Year.
What does the Church say about indulgences as one year ends and another begins?
For centuries, the Catholic Church widely observed All Saints’ Day (Nov. 1) as an octave, extending the holy celebration to eight days.
From Holy Week through Divine Mercy Sunday — and beyond — we should try not to miss out on these indulgences for ourselves or for any soul in purgatory.
The second World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly will be celebrated July 24.
A plenary indulgence is a grace granted by the Catholic Church through the merits of Jesus Christ, Mary, and all the saints to remove the temporal punishment due to sin.
The specific Nov. 2 plenary indulgence one can receive for their own soul by visiting a church or an oratory and reciting an Our Father and the Creed, can now also be done on any day in November.
COMMENTARY: It’s highly significant that Pope Francis has established the ‘World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly’ to be celebrated every year on the fourth Sunday of July.
A plenary indulgence can be obtained during Holy Week for oneself or for a deceased person if certain works established by the Church are performed.
