• Visit a church and pray for souls in Purgatory
• Say one “Our Father” and the “Apostles Creed” in the visit to the church
• Say one “Our Father” and one “Hail Mary” for the Pope’s intentions
• Worthily receive Holy Communion (ideally on the same day if you can get to Mass)

• For a plenary indulgence, be free from all attachment to sin, even venial sin

You can also acquire one plenary indulgence a day from November 1st. to November 8th. A partial indulgence can be obtained by visiting a cemetery and praying for the departed.  You can gain a plenary indulgence by visiting a cemetery each day between November 1st. and November 8th. and while there praying one Our Father and the Apostles Creed. A partial indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls, can be obtained when saying the “Eternal rest … Requiem aeternam…” prayer:

Requiem aeternam dona ei [pl.eis], Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei [eis]. Requiescat [-ant] in pace Amen.

Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

All Saints and All Souls - 2014

 

Just a reminder about this complicated weekend:

Saturday, November 1, is the Feast of All Saints. It coincides with the first Saturday of the month. For that reason, we cannot have Mass until noon because of an earlier scheduled Mass at the cemetery.  The US Bishops have decided that this year the feast is not a Holy Day of Obligation because it falls on a Saturday. It remains a holy day, with or without the obligation. Many traditionally minded Catholics still consider a personal day of obligation. At any rate, Mass will be offered.

Sunday by the calendar is All Souls Day, but in our community we are bound to the provisions in effect in the older Missal, in which Sunday remains Sunday and what is essentially a funeral Mass (for all the souls in Purgatory) cannot be offered. So we will offer the Mass for the 21st Sunday after Pentecost. However, we have been asked to bless the altars in place for the remembrance of All Souls Day that is organized every year at the cemetery.  We will do that after Mass, and mark the day with a simple procession through the cemetery with prayers for the dead.
