You’re welcome. A key point on the plenary indulgence is that, in addition to the particular activity, such as visiting Lourdes, and the Mass, and the Confession, and the prayers, one also has to be “free from any attachment to sin, including venial sin.”
I don’t think I would qualify! Even if I were indifferent to vino, there’s still Free Republic!
“I don’t think I would qualify!”
I think you would with prayer, and maybe even I would, but I would bet I need more prayers than you.
Let’s say a prayer for each other.
I see that you are in NC. How far are you from Belmont Abbey?
A friend of mine, and her family went to the Lourdes Shrine there yesterday.
And FR is the crack cociane of the internet.
