    • Can indulgences be gained for the souls of the faithful departed?
    Yes, by way of suffrage, so far as we comply with the required conditions, and thus beg of God, for the merits of His Son and the saints, to release the souls in Purgatory. Whether God receive this petition or not, remains with Him, He will act only according to the condition of the deceased. We must, therefore, not depend upon the indulgences and good works which may be performed for us after death, but rather endeavor, during our life-time, to secure our salvation by leading a pious life; by our own good works and by the gaining of indulgences.

    • What follows from the doctrine of the Church concerning indulgences?
    That an indulgence is no grant or license to commit sin, as the enemies of the Church falsely assert; that an indulgence grants no forgiveness of sins past or future, much less is permission given to commit sin; that no Catholic can believe that by gaining indulgences he is released from penance, or other good works, free from the fight with his evil inclinations, passions and habits, from compensating for injuries, repairing scandals, from retrieving neglected good, and glorifying God by works and sufferings; but that indulgences give nothing else than partial or total remission of temporal punishment; that they remind us of our weakness and lukewarmness which is great when compared with the zeal and fervor of the early Christians; that they impel us to satisfy the justice of God according to our ability.

    What is an indulgence?
    It is a total or partial remission of the temporal punishment which man would have to suffer either in this or the next life, after the sins have been remitted.

    another partial indulgence is reading from the Word. I really like that one b/c it makes you feel close to God and you begin to see things (or i do) in your life that maybe you didn't really see too well before, which means God is trying to tel u something... or that is what i get out of that anywya
