Plenary Indulgence

Pope Francis is granting a Plenary Indulgence for celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 11th and 12th.

How to participate to receive the indulgence:

1. Prepare an altar or place of prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe in your home.
2. Participate through the Live stream Masses offered at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. (not any Mass from your parish or any other) Actively participating in the Holy Eucharist as you would in person, that is, with devotion and with exclusive attention to the Eucharist. You can access the masses via: youtube.com/user/BasilicadeGuadalupe
3. And comply with the usual conditions to benefit from indulgences:
Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.
*Be in a state of grace after having confessed.
*Attend full Mass.
*Receive Communion.
*(The last three conditions can be fulfilled when public
health guidance allows.)

"I wish that all our pilgrim people, who from the bottom of their wounded hearts seek the comfort, protection, and tenderness from Our Blessed Mother, take advantage of this grace Pope Francis has granted us and that is extended to the faithful departed. Rather than going to her house, let Our Lady visit us in our homes this year. Let us open our doors to her and lift our hearts to her so that she may bless us and cover us with her mantle.
May Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother, Holy Mary of Guadalupe, continue to accompany us and bless all People of God in this moment of pain throughout the world. We are not alone, she walks with us, she is our Mother!" -Carlos Cardinal Aguiar Retes, ARCHBISHOP OF MEXICO
