Michael's Story: Plenary Indulgences

Let’s say that Michael is a bored 12-year-old boy sitting on the curb, throwing stones he’s picking up along the side of the road (in open defiance of adult warnings not to do so). Suddenly there’s a crash—and he realizes he just broke the neighbors’ front window. In a fit of remorse, Michael runs to their house and rings the doorbell. When Mr. Nguyen answers the door, Jeff tearfully tells him, “I did it, it’s my fault, I’m sorry!”

HOW TO GAIN A PLENARY INDULGENCE

An Indulgences can only be gained once a day and a person must be in the state of grace.

One must also:

1) Have a complete detachment from sin (even venial sin)

2) Confess their sins in the Sacrament of Penance (Confession)

3) Receive Holy Communion (preferably at Mass)

4) Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)

It restores justice and grace! It makes sense!
