GAINING A PLENARY INDULGENCE

Through the authority Christ gave to his Church, she prescribes the works we need to earn indulgences. They are stated here in general.

A plenary indulgence can be earned only once a day (except at the moment of death, when one can obtain a plenary indulgence if one has already been earned that day.)

There are four works to earn one plenary indulgence that can be performed in any order:

The first three are called the Three Constants. These must be performed every time we work for plenary indulgence. These are Sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and Prayers for the Pope’s Intentions.

1. Confess your sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The confession can be made about 20 days before or after the required work. One confession is good to earn several plenary indulgences. The interior disposition is to detach oneself from all sin.

2. Receive Holy Communion. One does not need to attend mass (especially in places where there are a lack of priests to celebrate daily mass,) but it is suggested.

3. Pray for the intentions of the pope. One Our Father, and One Hail Mary will satisfy this requirement.

4. Do any of the prescribed works.
