We are evaluating old indulgences that have been approve on todays date of:
February
10 & 11
List of Traditional materials we will be looking at today, and the current/withstanding grants that they satisfy (directly or indirectly).
23. O Lord, reward us
partial indulgence… General Grant 1 or Grant 30
739. An Invocation – O good Jesu, grant
partial indulgence… General Grant 1
NOTE:
Every prayer may be eligible for a partial indulgence, if applied correctly, under Grant 15.
Every invocation may be eligible for a partial indulgence, if applied correctly, under ‘General Grant ’ 1
Some spelling errors may be present.
Abbreviations that are found at the end of an indulgence prayer/practice (like S. P. Ap., and S. C. Ind.,) are, in essence, a specific ecclesiastical approval for a particular indulgence.
Traditional indulgences are ordered by their last date of approval.
The full written outline of the requirements for a partial or plenary indulgence, found at the end of an indulgence prayer/practice, may be omitted if not all of the information is unique or notable. (You will see three dots when there is a break in text …)
CHAPTER I. “THE TRIUNE GOD” - I. Ejaculations and Invocations
23. O Lord, reward us not according to our sins which we have done, neither according to our iniquities (Psalm 102, 10). An indulgence of 500 days. A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions, if this invocation is said devoutly every day for an entire month (S. P. Ap., Feb. 10, 1935)
Every invocation may be eligible for a partial indulgence, if applied correctly, under ‘General Grant’ 1. The specific reference in the 'Manuel of Indulgences' is as follows: A partial indulgence is granted to the Christian faithful who, while carrying out their duties and enduring the hardships of life, raise their minds in humble trust to God and make, at least mentally, some pious invocation.
Because this is also taken from Scripture, it would be applicable under Grant 30.
The specific reference in the 'Manuel of Indulgences' is as follows: A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who read the Sacred Scriptures as spiritual reading, from a text approved by competent authority and with the reverence due to the divine word, for at least a half an hour; if the time is less, the indulgence will be partial. (indulgences are granted, as mentioned above, for those who *listen under certain circumstance)
CHAPTER IX. “FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS” – PART II. “IN FAVOR OF CERTAIN GROUPS OF PERSONS” - IV. “PRAYERS TO BE SAID BY PRIESTS” – (A) To obtain Holiness of life.
739. An Invocation – O good Jesu, grant that I may be a priest after Thine own Heart. An indulgence of 300 days (Apostolic Brief, Feb. 11, 1924).
Every invocation may be eligible for a partial indulgence, if applied correctly, under ‘General Grant’ 1. The specific reference in the 'Manuel of Indulgences' is as follows: A partial indulgence is granted to the Christian faithful who, while carrying out their duties and enduring the hardships of life, raise their minds in humble trust to God and make, at least mentally, some pious invocation.
This concluded the Traditional Indulgences
Every prayer/practice that we evaluated today is taken from the last approved publication of the Raccolta. The Raccolta was once the official book/document/list of approved Indulgences. In its last publication there were 780+ individualized prayers/practices that were approved for gaining indulgences.
In 1967 indulgence practices were revised so that indulgences are now, today, granted more in the style of “category” of prayers/practices rather than individually. This leaves me with the question: how do the indulgenced prayers/practices from the Raccolta (traditional indulgence) line up with the indulgences of today? That question is what this “study” seeks to answer.
