Toties Quoties Indulgence

Toties Quoties Indulgence

From noon All Saints Day until midnight at the end of All Souls Day the Catholic faithful, as often as they visit a church or chapel, where the Blessed Sacrament is truly present, to pray for the dead, reciting six times during each visit the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for the intentions of Holy Mother Church, may gain a plenary indulgence applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, under the usual conditions of making a good Confession within a week before or after, worthily receiving Holy Communion within the week and having the right intention of heart. This is called the Toties Quoties Indulgence.

FIRST DAY - November 1, 2007

During this month our foremost thought is to recall to mind our beloved dead. We shall think of you, pray with you, labor with you, and shall give to the poor for the repose of your soul, that portion of the fruits of our daily labors which was formerly yours.
Pray: One Our Father, Three Hail Mary’s. On Gloria and De Profundis ( below) Psalm 129

DE PROFUNDIS

Out of the depths, I have cried to Thee, 0 Lord, Lord, hear my voice.
R.Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication
If Thou, 0 Lord, shalt mark my iniquities, 0 Lord, who shall stand it?
R.For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee. O Lord
My soul hath relied on His word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
R.From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord
Because with the Lord there is mercy; and with Him plenteous redemption.
R.And he shall redeem Israel form all its iniquities.
Eternal rest grant unto them, 0 Lord,
R.and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace
R. Amen.


Most compassionate Jesus, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory, for whose redemption Thou didst take upon Thyself the nature of mankind and die an ignominious death. Mercifully hear their pleadings - look with pity on the tears which they now shed before Thee and by virtue of their passion release them from the pain due unto their sins. Most pitiful Jesus, let Thy Precious Blood flow down into Purgatory and refresh and revive the captive souls suffering there. Stretch out unto them Thy strong right hand, and lead them to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

SECOND DAY - November 2, 2007

Is not the memory of the dead sweet to the heart, and is it not consoling to gather about us in thought the family dispersed by death?
