Adoration - A Plenary Indulgence

A Plenary Indulgence is the remission before God of ‘all’ the temporal punishment due to be suffered for already-forgiven sins.

A Catholic, being in the state of grace, can gain a Plenary Indulgence by many different prayers and works of piety, including:

Making a visit to the Blessed Sacrament to adore Him for at lease one half hour.

In addition to the Visit, these three conditions are required:

1. Confession
2. Holy Communion
3. Prayer for the Holy Father’s intentions.
   (One Our Father and one Hail Mary suffice)

The three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after the performance of the prescribed work; it is fitting, however, that Communion be received and the prayer for the intention of the Holy Father be recited on the same day the work is performed.

In addition, to gain a Plenary Indulgence, a person’s mind and heart must be free from all attachment to sin, even venial sin.

If one tries to gain a Plenary Indulgence, but fails to fulfill all the requirement, the indulgence will be only partial.

(From the leaflet “How to Gain a Plenary Indulgence,” TAN, Imprimature Most Rev. Thomas G. Doran, Bishop of Rockford, March 31, 1998)

Advent - Peace - Week 2

Dear Jesus, you entered our world on Christmas as the Prince of Peace.  This Advent, as we strive to become the-best-version-of-ourselves, fill us with a deep and abiding peace.  Help us share that peace with everyone we encounter, especially those who need it most.

I Don't Have Enough 'Time'

"You may think that there are not enough hours in the day to do all that needs to be done.  I promise you that every hour given exclusively to Me will be like the seed of an abundant harvest.  The fruit that you will reap will surpass beyond all imagining the little you will have given Me by abiding in My presence."
     In Sinu Jesu  p.264

Just like the parable of the loaves and fishes ... you have to put it into the hands of God first.

“Dear children!

Pray, work and witness with love for the Kingdom of Heaven that it may be good for you here on earth.

Little children, God will bless your effort a hundred fold; you will be witnesses among peoples, souls of unbelievers will feel the grace of conversion and Heaven will be grateful for your efforts and sacrifices.

Little children, witness with the Rosary in hand that you are mine and decide for holiness.

Thank you for having responded to my call. ”

Just A Verbal Thank You Doesn't Seem To Be Enough

"God is bread when you’re hungry, water when you’re thirsty, a harbor from the storm. God’s father to the fatherless, a mother to the motherless. God’s my sister, my brother, my leader, my guide, my teacher, my comforter, my friend. God’s the way-maker and burden-bearer, a heart-fixer and a mind-regulator. God’s my doctor who never lost a patient, my lawyer who never lost a case, my captain who never lost a battle. God’s my all in all, my everything.

God’s my rock, my sword, my shield, my lily of the valley, my pearl of great price. God’s a god of peace and a god of war. Counselor, Emmanuel, Redeemer, Savior, Prince of Peace, Son of God, Mary’s little baby, wonderful Word of God."

   Sr. Thea Bowman (1937-1990)  Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration
