    • From the Enchiridion Indulgentarium:

    READING OF SACRED SCRIPTURE. While a partial indulgence is granted to those who read from Sacred Scripture with the veneration which the divine word is due, a PLENARY INDULGENCE is granted to those who read for at least one half an hour.

    Unless one holds that the See was vacant when this was promulgated, it is a proper exercise of the Keys to set such conditions for this particular plenary indulgence.

    • About plenary indulgences, this is the easiest way I know of receiving one:

    34.  PRAYER, "EN EGO," ETC., BEFORE A CRUCIFIX.
    Pope Pius VII., by a decree of the S. Congr. of Indulgences, dated
    April 10, 1821, granted -
    A plenary indulgence to all who shall devoutly say the following
    prayer before any representation of Jesus crucified, with contrite
    hearts, praying for the wants of Holy Church, after Confession and
    Communion.

    En ego, O bone et dulcissime Jesu, ante conspectum tuum genibus me
    provolvo ac maximo animi ardore te oro atque obtestor ut meum in cor
    vividos fidei, spei, et charitatis sensus, atque veram peccatorum
    meorum poenitentiam, eaque emendandi firmissimam voluntatem velis
    imprimere: dum magno animi affectu et dolore, tua quinque Vulnera
    mecuŠ¼ ipse considero, ac mente contemplor, illud prae oculis habens,
    quod jam in ore ponebat suo David Propheta de Te, O bone Jesu:
    "Foderunt manus Meas et pedes Meos; dinumeraverunt omnia ossa Mea."

    O good and sweetest Jesus, before Thy face I humbly kneel, and with
    all fervour of soul I pray and beseech Thee to vouchsafe to fix deep
    in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope, and charity, true
    contrition for my sins, and a most firm purpose of amendment; whilst I
    contemplate with great sorrow and love Thy five Wounds, and ponder
    them over in my mind, having before my eyes the words which, long ago,
    David the prophet spoke in his own person concerning Thee, my Jesus:
    "Foderunt manus Meas et pedes Meos; dinumeraverunt omnia ossa Mea," -
    They digged My hands and My feet; they numbered all My bones." Ps.
    xxi. 17,18.
