From the Pastor

You don't hear about indulgences anymore, at least not in Catholic circles. But since November is usually dedicated to the souls in purgatory I thought it prudent to address the topic (to say nothing of October 31 being "Reformation Day"). There is surely no better place to turn than to the Enchiridion of Indulgences. "Enchiridion" means "handbook," and the Enchiridion of Indulgences is the Church's official handbook on what acts and prayers carry indulgences and what indul-gences actually are.

An indulgences is defined as "the remission before God of the temporal punishment due for sins already forgiven as far as their guilt is concerned." The first thing to note is that forgiveness of a sin is separate from punishment for the sin. Through sacramental confession we obtain forgiveness, but we aren't let off the hook as far as punishment goes. You see, every time we sin we do damage to ourselves and that damage must be repaired before we get to heaven. If it wasn't repaired then we wouldn't truly be in heaven! Indulgences are two kinds: partial and plenary. A partial indulgences re-moves part of the temporal punishment due for sins. A plenary indulgence removes all of it. This punishment may come either in this life, in the form of various sufferings, or in the next life, in purgatory. What we don't get rid of here we suf-fer there.

If you uncover a holy card or prayer book, you'll notice pious acts or recitation of prayers might carry an indication of time, such as "300 days or "two years." Well, there are no days or years in purgatory-- or in heaven or hell, for that mat-ter -- and the indication of days or years attached to partial indulgences never meant you'd get that much time off in pur-gatory. What it means was that you'd get a partial indulgence commensurate with what the early Christians got for doing penances for a certain length of time. But there has never been any way for us to measure how much "good time" that represents. All the Church could say, and all it ever did say, was that your temporal punishment would be reduced -- as God saw fit.

The rules for indulgences were modified in 1967, and now "the grant of a partial indulgence is designated only with the words "partial indulgence," without any determination of days or years," according to the Enchiridion. To receive a par-tial indulgence, you have to recite the prayer or do the act of charity assigned. You have to be in the state of grace at least by the completion of the prescribed work. The rule says" at the completion" because often part of the prescribed work is going to confession, and you might not be in the state of grace before you do that. The other thing required is having a general intention to gain the indulgence. If you perform the required act but don't want to gain the indulgence, obviously you won't gain it.

The requirements for a plenary indulgence are tougher than for a partial. After all, a plenary indulgence remove all the temporal punishment due for the sins committed up to that time. "To acquire a plenary indulgence," says the Enchirid-ion, "it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill the following three conditions: sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff. It is further re-quired that all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent." The greatest hurdle is the last. Making a good confession is not particularly difficult, and going to Communion and praying for the Pope's intentions are easier still. It's being free from all attachment to sin that's hard because we are often unwilling to relinquish our favorite little sins. It should be pointed out that the first three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after doing the prescribed work, through receiving Communion and praying for the Pope are usually done the same day the work is performed. By the way, the standard prayers for the Pope are one Our Father and one Creed, though you're at liberty to substitute other prayers.

There is no room or need to mention all the pious acts which are indulgenced, but it's worth noting that a plenary indul-gence is given for the recitation of the rosary in a church or family group (and not just the recitation, of course, but the fulfilling of the usual conditions for a plenary indulgence), as well as adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for thirty min-utes. Likewise, first communicants and those who "assist at the sacred ceremonies of a First Communion -- for example, the parents -- can receive a plenary indulgence. And the same reward is given to those who, "with the veneration due the divine word, make a spiritual reading from Sacred Scripture" for at least half an hour. Even making the Sign of the Cross has a partial indulgence attached to it.

Del Pastor Ya no se escucha sobre las indulgencies, al menos no en círculos católicos. Pero como Noviembre usualmente está dedicado a las almas del purgatorio pensé que era prudente abordar el tema (Para no decir algo del 31 de Octu-bre como “Día de la Reforma”). Seguramente no hay un lugar mejor a donde ir que al Enchiridion de las Indulgen-cias. "Enchiridion" quiere decir "manual," y el Enchiridion de Indulgencias de la Iglesia, es el manual oficial so-bre qué actos y oraciones llevan indulgencies y qué son en realidad indulgencias. Una indulgencia se define como "la remisión ante Dios del castigo temporal debido a los pecados ya perdonados en lo que respecta a su culpabilidad.” Lo primero que hay que notar es que el perdón de un pecado está separado del castigo por el pecado. Por la confesión sacramental obtenemos el perdón, pero no nos libramos del castigo. Ca-da vez que pecamos nos hacemos daño a nosotros mismos y ese daño debe repararse antes de llegar al cielo. ¡Si no se repara no podremos entrar al cielo! Hay dos clases de Indulgencias: parcial y plenaria. Una Indulgencia parcial remueve parte del castigo temporal por causa del pecado. Una Indulgencia plenaria remueve todo el pecado. Este castigo puede venir ya sea en esta vida, en forma de varios sufrimientos, o en la vida venidera, en el purgatorio. Lo que no quitemos aquí sufriremos haya. Si tienes una estampa sagrada o un libro de oraciones, notaras que los actos piadosos o la recitación de oracio-nes pueden llevar una indicación de tiempo, como “300 días” o “dos años.” Bueno en realidad, no hay días o años en el purgatorio, en el cielo o en el infierno, y la indicación de días o años como parte de lo que dicen en las indul-gencias parciales no quiere decir que recibirán ese tiempo fuera del purgatorio. Lo que quiere decir es que reci-birán Indulgencia parcial acorde con lo que obtuvieron los primeros Cristianos por hacer penitencias por un cierto tiempo. Pero nunca ha habido una manera de medir el “tiempo bueno” que representa. La iglesia solamente puede decir, todo lo que ha dicho y todo lo que podrá decir, es que el castigo temporal se reducirá como Dios lo quiera. Las reglas para las indulgencias fueron modificadas en 1967, y ahora "la concesión de una indulgencia parcial se designa solo con las palabras "indulgencia parcial," sin ninguna determinación de días o años,” según el Enchiri-dion. Para recibir una indulgencia parcial, se debe rezar las oraciones o hacer los actos de caridad asignados. Se necesita estar en estado de gracia al menos por la finalización del trabajo prescrito. La regla dice "al terminar" por-que generalmente, parte del trabajo prescrito es el ir a confesarse y posiblemente no se está en estado de gracia an-tes de confesarse. La otra cosa que se requiere es tener una intención general para ganar la indulgencia . Si haces el acto requerido pero no quieres ganar la indulgencia, obviamente no la ganas. Los requisitos para una indulgencia plenaria son más difíciles que para una parcial. Después de todo, una indul-gencia plenaria remueve todos los castigos temporales por todos los pecados cometidos hasta ese tiempo. “ Para adquirir una indulgencia plenaria” dice el Enchiridion, “ es necesario realizar el trabajo que esta pegado a la indul-gencia y cumplir la siguientes tres condiciones: confesión sacramental, Comunión Eucarística, y oración por la in-tención del Sumo Pontífice. Se requiere que todo lo que se ata al pecado, hasta el pecado venial, esté ausente.” El más grande obstáculo es el último. Hacer una confesión buena no es particularmente difícil, e ir a la Comunión y rezar por las intenciones del Papa es aun más fácil. Es estar libre de cualquier apego al pecado, es difícil porque no estamos dispuestos a renunciar a nuestros pecados favoritos. Se debe señalar que las primeras tres condiciones pueden ser realizadas varios días antes oh después de el trabajo recomendado, recibir la Comunión y la oración por el Papa se hacen usualmente el mismo día. Por Cierto, las oraciones estándar para el Papa son un Padre Nuestro y un Credo, aunque se está en libertad de substituirlos con otras oraciones. No hay lugar o necesidad de mencionar actos piadosos que son indulgencias, conviene indicar que una indul-gencia plenaria se puede recibir por rezar el rosario en una iglesia oh en grupo familiar ( no solo la recitación, pero de seguro, la satisfacción de la condición usual para una indulgencia plenaria), además la adoración del Santísimo Sacramento por treinta minutos. Igualmente, al recibir la Primera Comunión y los que asisten a la ceremonia de las Primeras Comuniones por ejemplo los padres de los niños, puede recibir una indulgencia plenaria. Además se reci-be también con la veneración de la Palabra Divina, al hacer una lectura espiritual del la Sagrada Escritura” a lo me-nos por media hora. Hasta el hacer La Señal de la Cruz tiene una indulgencia parcial adjunta.
