THE PORTIUNCULA INDULGENCE

THE PORTIUNCULA INDULGENCE – AUGUST 2

The Portiuncula Indulgence is the first plenary indulgence that was ever granted in the Church. He who gains the Portiuncula Indulgence becomes as pure as after holy baptism.

The feast of Portiuncula is on August 2nd. According to the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, a plenary indulgence is available to anyone who will
– Receive sacramental confession on the day or eight days before or after
– Receive the Holy Eucharist at Holy Mass on August 2nd
– Enter a parish church and, with a contrite heart, pray one Our Father, the Apostles Creed, and prays for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff.

 

 

THE BLUE SCAPULAR OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

This scapular was revealed by Our Divine Lord and the Blessed Virgin to the Ven. Ursula Benincasa, of the Order of Theatines, at Naples,

1. to honour the Immaculate Conception
2. to obtain the conversion of sinners.

Those invested in this scapular can gain all the Indulgences granted to any Religious Order, or to any person or place. By reciting six Our Fathers, Hail Marys, and Glorias, in honour of the Most Holy Trinity, and our Immaculate Lady, may be gained all the Indulgences of Rome, of the Portiuncula, of Jerusalem, and of St James of Compostella.
