32^nd Sunday in Ordinary Time 6^th Nov: Focus: Lift your hearts to the Lord. – Today’s readings show difficult situations, whether physical in the first reading or moral in the Gospel. In each setting, the Scripture lifts our sights to what is most important. We are the children of God, & our strength is in the Lord. This is what truly matters in the world, no matter what we might face.

Plenary Indulgence during November for Holy Souls

A plenary indulgence can be obtained by anyone who visits a cemetery, even if only mentally, on any day in November, & devoutly prays for the faithful departed.

Plenary Indulgence for Feast of All Souls’ Day

This plenary indulgence can be obtained not only on the feast day, but on any other day of the month chosen by each member of the faithful. In this case, the indulgence is obtained by “devoutly visiting a church or an oratory”, along with the recitation of the Our Father & the Creed, & the other requirements associated with a Plenary Indulgence.

The homebound

For anyone who cannot leave their home for various reasons, they too can obtain the plenary indulgence by “uniting themselves spiritually to other members of the faithful”. In this case, the condition of being “completely detached from sin” & the intention of completing the other requirements for obtaining a plenary indulgence remain. These conditions are sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, & a prayer for the Holy Father’s intentions.

The Decree suggests that such prayer take place before an image of Jesus or the Blessed Virgin Mary. Among the various prayers that are recommended are prayers for the deceased, the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, meditating on various Gospel passages proposed for the liturgy of the Dead, or completing a work of mercy by offering to God the suffering & discomforts of one’s own life.
