How to obtain a plenary indulgence for the Holy Souls
From November 1st - 8th: visit a cemetery and pray for the poor souls.
On November 2nd: visit a cemetery or a church or an oratory. Recite one Our Father and one Creed.
A partial indulgence can be obtained any time by visiting a cemetery and praying for the poor souls. The following prayer is especially recommended:
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Requiescant in pace. Amen.
Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen
Six general rules for obtaining a plenary indulgence:
1. State of grace.
2. Complete detachment from sin, even venial sin.
3. Confession *
4. Communion *
5. Prayers for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.
6. Indulgenced act
* For Confession and Communion, the Church allows 20 days before or after the indulgenced act; however, traditionally we recommend 8 days before or after for Confession and 1 day before or 8 days after for Communion.
