Portiuncula Assisi
 |
| Portiuncula in St. Mary of the Angels |
Attain
the plenary indulgence of the forgiveness of Assisi in honour of Our Lady of
the Angels anytime during the 24 hours between Vespers on August 1 through
August 2. This indulgence was obtained by St. Francis of Assisi himself from
Jesus and approved by Pope Honorius III in the 13th century.
In his 1967 release “Indulgentiarum Doctrina,”Pope Paul VI completely reformed the norms and
grants of indulgences, and the Portiuncula
Indulgence was again
confirmed at that time. The requirements for this indulgence include a devout
visit to any Catholic church, chapel, or oratory; recitation of the Apostles
Creed, an Our Father, Hail Mary, & Glory Be for the Holy Father's
intentions; reception of Holy Communion; and the Sacrament of Reconciliation
within 8 days.
