by Thursday, April 24.
Divine Mercy Sunday is April 27.
The Catholic Church makes available, through it’s authority as keeper of the keys of heaven, a plenary indulgence to those who meet the following conditions:
Pray the chaplet of divine mercy, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a venial sin, in a church or chapel on April 27. The hour of divine mercy is 3:00 pm.
Make a good, sacramental confession 20 days before or after Divine Mercy Sunday.Receive Holy Communion, preferably on the day of or the days before or after Divine Mercy Sunday.
Pray for the intentions of the Pope.
A plenary indulgence is a particularly powerful way to obtain remission of punishment -- on earth or in purgatory – that would have resulted from sins that were already forgiven. It covers all sins, mortal or venial, that the recipient has committed up to that time, if the person sincerely repents, detests their sins and fulfills all requirements of the indulgence.
Even though confessed and forgiven sins will not send a person to hell, consequences remain to be paid on earth or in purgatory. An indulgence frees the recipient from those consequences.
Reception of an indulgence always springs from sincere repentance, the desire to live a holy life. An indulgence cannot be bought, nor can one be obtained by going through the motions
without sincerity.
