PLENARY INDULGENCE
A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who :
● Visit the Blessed Sacrament for adoration lasting at least a half hour.
● Visit a parish church :
- On the solemnity of its titular feast.
- On 2 August, the day of the "Portiuncula indulgence"
- On All Souls' Day (applicable to the dead only).
On these visits one should recite the Our Father and the Creed and fulfill the three requirements (Confession, Communion, and prayer for the pope's intentions).
● Read the Sacred Scriptures for at least a half hour.
● Make the pious Way of the Cross.
● Recite the Marian Rosary devoutly in a church, oratory, or in a family.
● Receive the Apostolic Blessing at the hour of death.
PARTIAL INDULGENCE
One of the faithful who, being at least inwardly contrite, performs a work carrying with it a partial indulgence receives through the Church the remission of temporal punishment. "A partial indulgence is granted to the Christian faithful who :
● while carrying out their duties and enduring the hardships of life, raise their minds in humble trust to God and make, at least mentally, some pious invocation.
● led by the spirit of faith, give compassionately of themselves or of their good to serve their brothers in need.
● in a spirit of penance, voluntarily abstain from something that is licit for and pleasing to them.
● in the particular circumstances of daily life, voluntarily give explicit witness to their faith before others."
