Vatican
City, 9 July 2013 (VIS) – According to a decree made public today
and signed by Cardinal Manuel Monteiro de Castro and Bishop Krzysztof
Nykiel, respectively penitentiary major and regent of the Apostolic
Penitentiary, Pope Francis will grant Indulgence to the faithful
participating in celebrations for 28th World Youth Day, to be held in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 22 to 29 July on the theme "Go and
make disciples of all nations".
The
young people and the faithful who are adequately prepared will obtain
the Plenary Indulgence, once a day and under the usual conditions
(sacramental Confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer in
accordance with the intentions of the Holy Father), applicable also
to the souls of deceased faithful.
The
faithful who on account of a legitimate impediment cannot attend the
aforementioned celebrations may obtain Plenary Indulgence under the
usual spiritual, sacramental and prayer conditions, in a spirit of
filial submission to the Roman Pontiff, by participation in the
sacred functions on the days indicated, following the same rites and
spiritual exercises as they occur via television or radio or, with
due devotion, via the new means of social communication.
Partial
Indulgence will be conceded to all the faithful who, in any place and
between the indicated days, with a contrite heart raise devout
prayers to God, concluding with the official prayer of the World
Youth Day and invoking the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Brazil, with
the title “Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Aparecida” as well as other
patrons and intercessors of the same meeting, that they may encourage
the young to reinforce their faith and lead a holy life.
