CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING
CORNER Our Lenten journey climaxes in
this celebration of Holy Week. Throughout
these days we are called to experience
with Christ a journey of unselfish love; to
die to all that is sinful in us and to rise to
new and renewed life. Will justice and
charity be renewed in us through this
journey? Will we make room for those in
need as we let selfishness die in us?
Healing Mass, St. Mary in Waco
The Ladies of Charity of Waco will host the
35th annual Easter Healing Mass and
Anointing of the Sick April 8 at 11 a.m. at
St. Mary Parish in Waco. Refreshments
will be served following the service in St.
Mary's Parish Hall. For more information,

merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. “Merciful Jesus, I
trust in you!”).
Divine Mercy Indulgence
What is an Indulgance?
What an Indulgence does is to take an
occasion of such expiation (a certain
prayer, penance, charity or other
designated work) and add to its intrinsic
merit before God an additional value
based on the treasury of merits of Jesus
Christ, and those perfectly united to Him in
heaven (the saints). This can either
partially, or under certain conditions, totally
remit the temporal punishment due to
sin. This depends, naturally, on our
openness to God's grace. A mechanical
performance of an indulgenced work
would not have effect. Performing an
indulgenced work should have the
consequence of fixing our will away from
our sins and entirely on God. This is why
among the most important of the
conditions for receiving a plenary
indulgence, and the hardest to satisfy, is
the complete detachment from or
detestation of our sins.
Partial Indulgence Requirements
A partial indulgence, granted to the faithful
who, at least with a contrite heart, pray to
the merciful Lord Jesus a legitimately
approved invocation. (e.g. “Jesus I trust in
You”, “My Jesus mercy”, or any other
approved invocation.)
Plenary Indulgence Requirements
I. The usual conditions for every plenary
indulgence:
- sacramental confession (within about 20
days before or after)
- Eucharistic communion (preferably on
the day, or the days before or after)
- prayer for the intentions of Holy Father
II. The specific conditions for this
Indulgence:
On Divine Mercy Sunday
- in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is
completely detached from the affection for
a sin, even a venial sin, one should take
part in the prayers and devotions held in
honor of Divine Mercy
- or, in the presence of the Blessed
Sacrament exposed or reserved in the
tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the
Creed, adding a devout prayer to the
Note on Partial Indulgences
In the past partial indulgences were
"counted" in days (e.g. 300 days) or years
(e.g. 5 years). Catholics often mistakenly
thought that this meant "time off of
Purgatory." Since there is no time in
Purgatory, as we understand it, it meant
instead the remission of temporal
punishment analogous to a certain amount
of penitence as practiced in the early
Church. This was a very generous
standard, since the penitence required for
sacramental absolution in the early
centuries was arduous, indeed. However,
with Pope Paul VI's 1968 revision of the
Enchiridion Indulgentiarum (Collection or
Handbook of Indulgences), this confusing
way of counting partial indulgences was
suppressed, and the evaluation of a partial
indulgence left to God. Please note the
schedule for Triduum. The principle
liturgies of the the three days form one
liturgical whole (which is why Veneration
occurs only once, though as Stations are
devotional and not liturgical they are
repeatable) and all the Faithful are invited
and encouraged to participate in all three
of these great celebrations of the holiest
days of the Church. The Vigil, as a
celebration of the dawning Light Who
triumphs over the darkness of death and
sin, is to take place “in the Holy Night” and,
as we were reminded by the Vicar
General, is to not begin until after sunset.
