How To Obtain Plenary Indulgences During The Year Of St. Joseph

Let’s circle back to indulgences. What are they and what special indulgences are offered this year? God is so generous that he multiplies the merits of our good works. An indulgence is essentially this, a devotion that is super-magnified.

To be more specific, indulgences remit us of the temporal punishment due to sin. In other words, this means we won’t need to go to Purgatory as much and potentially not at all.

What’s really cool is a lot of the special indulgences offered this year are plenary indulgences. These completely rid temporal punishment up to that point. In other words, if you are detached from all sin and receive this, you pass Purgatory and go straight to Heaven!

So what are the amazing indulgences for this year and how do you obtain them?

By praying any approved prayer or devotion to St. Joseph on March 19, May 1, the 19th of each month, and every Wednesday, you may receive a plenary indulgence!

You must also receive Holy Communion that day, go to Confession within 20 days before or after, pray an Our Father and Hail Mary for the Pope, and have a sincere detachment from all sin and a desire to never sin again.
“Saint Joseph, our father and lord, is a teacher of the interior life. Place yourself under his patronage and you’ll feel the effectiveness of his power.” - St. Josemaría Escrivá
