plenary indulgence for the holy souls
There are two indulgences that are able to be fulfilled on behalf of the souls in purgatory as part of the commemoration of All Souls Day. Anyone who visits a cemetery and prays, even if only mentally, for the departed between Nov. 1 through 8 can gain a plenary indulgence for the souls in purgatory. This indulgence only applies to the souls in purgatory, not the one who does it.
It’s the same with the second indulgence available, which is piously visiting a church on All Souls Day or All Saints Day, or the preceding or following Sunday and saying an Our Father and reciting the Creed.
Indulgences are ways the Church has identified that we can “pay” God back for our sin and erase whatever “debt” remains outstanding. We can also apply them for the dead (CIC c. 994).
A partial indulgence partially frees from temporal punishment due to sins and a plenary (from the Latin plenus meaning full) totally frees from temporal punishment due to sins (CIC c. 993). Indulgences can only be gained by someone who is baptized and not excommunicated and is in the state of grace “at least at the end of the prescribed works” (CIC c. 996 §1).
To receive an indulgence, a Catholic must have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin (even venial sin), go to confession and receive Holy Communion within 20 days before or after the indulged work is performed, and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father (Apostolic Penitentiary The Gift of the Indulgence n.4-5). Any prayers can be offered for the intentions of the Holy Father, but traditionally they are an Our Father and a Hail Mary.
