Conditions for a Plenary Indulgence:
“Usual Conditions for a Plenary Indulgence
Because the enemy has usurped our churches We commute the usual conditions required for gaining plenary
indulgences as follows:
1) Instead of visiting a church, place yourself in the presence of God, as if you were in church and say the required prayers.
2) We commute the requirement of Confession for those who are unable to confess to an Examination of
Conscience with an Act of Contrition and ten minutes meditation on the horrors of sin, which offends Almighty
God.
3) We commute the requirement of Holy Communion to a Spiritual Communion with a prayer that the day,
when we can again receive the Blessed Sacrament may come soon.
4) The intentions of the Supreme Pontiff are: the exaltation of Holy Mother Church, the extirpation
(overcoming) of heresies, propagation of the Faith, the conversion of sinners and peace among Christian nations.
Unless specific prayers are prescribed for the Pope’s intentions, any vocal prayers may be used.”
Pope Michael I., January 25, 2007
Symbols of the Calendar
Liturgical Colors:
⚪️ White, 🔴 Red, 🟢 Green, 🟣 Purple, ⚫️ Black
Note:
The Catholic Liturgy assigns different ranks to feasts.
On a given day, there may be both a major feast and a lesser feast, such as that of a saint. In general, Sundays take precedence over the feast of a saint occurring on the same day. However, major feasts—such as the Assumption—outrank a Sunday.
For informational purposes, this calendar includes both major and minor feasts. However, please note that the priest, following the Ordo, will celebrate Mass according to the feast of the higher rank for that day.
