Views 865
Fr Josemaria gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Mar 21, 2020, on how in this difficult time we can obtain a plenary indulgence for praying for an end to the Coronavirus and for the health and salvation of those infected by it. It is a way for God to provide grace at all times, even when the ordinary means of graces, the sacrament, are not available.
Normal Conditions:
- Sacramental Confession
- Eucharistic Communion
- Prayer with Pope's intention
- or at least the will to fulfill these conditions as soon as possible
Extraordinary means on this difficult time:
- Unite themselves spiritually even though the media with:
- Celebration of the Mass
- or to other devotions like Rosary, Station of the Cross
- or Recite the creed, the Lord's Prayer, invocation to Our Lady
- and where possible
- Visit the blessed sacrament, adoration
- or Read Scripture
With the intention of :
- ending the pandemic
- relief of those suffering from the virus
- The salvation of the souls of those who die from it.
