Plenary Indulgence Available

The month of November is dedicated to the Holy Souls. On all the days from Nov. 1st to Nov. 8th inclusive, 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 departed (under the usual conditions). Partial indulgences are granted to those who recite Lauds or Vespers of the Office of the Dead, and to those who recite the prayer “Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.” The Holy Souls cannot help themselves, but they can pray for us because they do love God intensely! They will not forget our generosity to them!
