Catholic Activity: Praying for the Dead and Gaining Indulgences During November
It is during November that the Church
meditates on the Communion of Saints,
which is the charitable link with the faith-
ful who have already reached heaven
(Church Triumphant), the faithful departed
who are still expiating their sins in Purga-
tory (Church Suffering) and of the pilgrim
faithful here on earth (Church Militant).
"In this wonderful exchange, the holiness
of one profits others, well beyond the harm
that the sin of one could cause others. Thus
recourse to the communion of saints lets
the contrite sinner be more promptly and
efficaciously purified of the punishments
for sin." (Catechism of the Catholic
Church, 1475).
On November 1st the Church celebrates
the Solemnity of All Saints, a Holy Day of
Obligation, honoring all those faithful in
heaven. Throughout November the Church
also remembers our Faithful Departed. The
need and duty of prayer for the departed
souls has been acknowledged by the
Church at all times. It is recommended in
the Scriptures of the Old Testament: "It is
therefore a holy and wholesome thought to
pray for the dead, that they may be loosed
from sins."(2 Macch. 12, 46). This duty
has found expression not only in public
and private prayers but especially in the
offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
for the repose of souls.
Throughout November the Church
prays for all who are in the purifying fires
of Purgatory, waiting for the day when
they will join the company of the saints in
heaven. The celebration of Mass is the
highest means the Church can provide for
charity for the dead, but we can also re-
lieve their sufferings through our prayers,
sufferings and penances. We can also help
the Poor Souls by doing acts and prayers
that have indulgences attached to
them. There are many indulgences, appli-
cable only to the Souls in Purgatory, that
can be obtained during the month of No-
vember.
An indulgence is "the remission before God of the temporal punishment due for sins already forgiven as far as their guilt is concerned." To obtain this remission there are proper dispositions and certain condi-tions predetermined by the Church that must be met by the faithful. The remission is acquired through the intervention of the Church, who has the power to loose and bind granted through Jesus Christ. "As minister of the Redemption, authoritatively dispenses and applies the treasury of the satisfaction won by Christ and the Saints" (Enchiridion of Indulgences).
An indulgence can either be partial or
plenary. It is par tial if it removes only
part of the temporal punishment due to sin,
or plenary if it removes all punishment.
To be able to gain an indulgence, one
must have the intention to gain them, and
perform the works at the time and in the
manner prescribed.
The traditional conditions to attain a Ple-
nary Indulgence:
A Plenary Indulgence can be gained only
one per day. The faithful must be in the
state of grace and these three conditions
must accompany the prescribed act:
1. the faithful must receive
the sacrament of confession, either
eight days before or after the pious act is
performed,
2. receive Holy Communion on that day
3. and recite prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father (one Our Father and one Hail Mary is the minimum, but any other additional prayers may be added).
A partial indulgence, applicable only to
the Souls in Purgatory, can be obtained
when the Eternal Rest (Requiem aeter-
nam) is prayed. This can be prayed all
year, but especially during the month of
November:
Requiem aeternam dona ei (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 attachment to sin, even venial sin,
must be absent. If one's disposition is less
than perfect or if some of the above condi-
tions are not fulfilled, the indulgence be-
comes partial.
In the Year 2000 Jubilee Year the Apos-
tolic Penitentiary relaxed the conditions
for confession and communion:
In order to obtain a plenary indulgence
(only one per day), the faithful must, in
addition to being in the state of grace:
—have the interior disposition of com-
plete detachment from sin, even venial sin;
— have sacramentally confessed their sins;
— receive the Holy Eucharist (it is certain-
ly better to receive it while participating in
Holy Mass, but for the indulgence only
Holy Communion is required); — pray for
the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.
Many families add to the "Prayer Before
Meals" the second half of the "Eternal
Rest" prayer:
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts, Which we are about to receive, from Thy bounty, through Christ, our Lord, Amen. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
We should pray for the departed all
through the year, not just November .
After these souls in Purgatory are in heav-
en, they will intercede for us. Developing
prayerful habits, such as praying the
"Eternal Rest" prayer when passing ceme-
teries, will remind us of our eternal destiny
and increase charity towards others.
For more information on the Church's teachings on indulgences, read the Enchiridion of Indulgences given by the 1968 Decree of the Sacred Apostolic Penitentiary.

How Will You Serve?
Prayers for the Faithful Departed
Prayer for the dead is one of the greatest acts of charity we can perform. Our prayers help them during their
time in Purgatory, so that they can enter more quickly into the fullness of heaven. These prayers are especially
suited for offering a novena on behalf of the dead or for praying during November (in the Western Church), the
month designated by the Church, as times of fervent prayer for the faithful departed.
A Prayer for Mercy on the Souls in Purgatory While we know that all who are in Purgatory will enter into Heaven, we are still bound by charity to try to less-
en the suffering of the Holy Souls through our prayers and deeds. While our first responsibility is to those peo-
ple we have known, it is important to remember in our prayers those souls who are most forsaken.
Eternal Rest Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful de-
parted, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
