What if your Catholic departed loved ones can go straight to heaven? Can you do something about it?

This Nov 1-8, all Catholics can get a Plenary Indulgence for their departed loved ones.

Keep reading if you’re Catholic.

WHY DO YOU WANT A PLENARY INDULGENCE?

A person sins – say she commits adultery. Later, she’s forgiven by Christ because she’s genuinely repentant. Let’s say — she dies immediately after that repentance.

Confession of sins doesn’t directly involve the effects of her sins.

This is logical.

Her husband’s heart is still broken at this point. It will heal in time and by God’s mercy. The effect on her children will still be there – as well as the rest of her family.

The guilty girl can’t fix anything anymore because she’s dead.

So, she now has to suffer the temporal punishment of that sin.

It is part of the nature of sin -to have consequences.

The effect of this”temporal punishment” is the purification of the girl.

The church says exactly:

“CCC 1472b …. On the other hand every sin, even venial, entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures, which must be purified either here on earth, or after death in the state called Purgatory. This purification frees one from what is called the “temporal punishment” of sin. These two punishments must not be conceived of as a kind of vengeance inflicted by God from without, but as following from the very nature of sin. A conversion which proceeds from a fervent charity can attain the complete purification of the sinner in such a way that no punishment would remain.” (CCC = Catechism of the Catholic Church)

We tend to think there are no consequences all the time when God forgives us.

But in many cases, the consequences/effects of the sin are natural.

Hence, the effects will still be there.

Action –> consequence.

Just logical.

PURIFICATION

All of us will need to be purified before entering heaven.

That’s what we call purgatory.

So, this girl is in purgatory right now.
Let’s say she’s a loved one of yours – maybe she’s someone you don’t know but is an ancestor from years 1350 or 244.

HOW CAN YOU HELP THIS PERSON?

You get her a plenary indulgence! (It completely removes the punishment in purgatory).
It means “Welcome to Heaven,” as the Catholic Church teaches.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT MISS HEART BREAKER?

First of all, you can be praying for your loved ones who just died.
So you care for them.

Then, later, this person will be YOU.
(you will sin, you will ask for forgiveness, you will die…but you’ll get purified in purgatory anyway also -and get the temporal punishment for your sins. We sin a lot and damage many things on the way to forgiveness, right?).

“For a just man shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.” Prov 24:16

Of course, we assume you’re not ending up in hell, right?

“JOMAR! I’M GOING TO HEAVEN!!”

With God’s mercy, you are. However, we cooperate with this mercy by doing many things, Including living out a Christian life.

It is never an instant “Heaven without doing anything” for the Catholic.
On the way to heaven, you will be purified here on earth (through repentance, confession, etc).
This purification is a fact of life.
You already suffer today.
That’s a purification for you.
But this is another topic, lets go back to our topic.

BY FIRE!
Now, according to 1 Corinthians:

11 for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 the work of each will come to light, for the Day[a] will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire [itself] will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage. 15 But if someone’s work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved,[b] but only as through fire.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Note: You will be saved. But you will suffer loss via fire. I just repeated the last line, so there’s that. This is why we pray for those in purgatory. We know one day, we will be there, too. There is a book I’m reading called “Purgatory”* – get a copy of it to know more.

THREE GROUPS
We express our love to the saints in heaven, our guardian angels, and now to the souls in purgatory. I just mentioned this to show how unique Catholics are! We interact with people, angels, and holy souls.

BOOK
At the end of this article is a whole book, “Manual of Indulgences” – from the US Bishop’s office. Read it for more info.

WHAT’S THE PLENARY THING?

A Plenary indulgence removes all of the temporal punishment of repented/forgiven sins accumulated up to this point (today) – for a person in purgatory. God has promised a complete remission of the time in purgatory if a plenary indulgence is gained and applied to a soul in purgatory. English?Welcome to Heaven.

BEFORE YOU READ THE REQUIREMENTS,
Note that the list below is seemingly designed to make you a holier person.

And there’s no payment or fee to do the requirements.

The indulgence is free.

The benefits to you and the person in purgatory – are eternal.

REQUIREMENTS

What is required of the Catholic to gain the plenary Indulgence on NOV 1-8?

1. You have confessed mortal sins recently (20 days) before or after the Nov 1-Nov 8. If you have already followed the first Saturday / First Friday devotions, you have already done this.

2. You don’t have attachments to venial sins. You don’t like to do it (and you don’t do it!).

3. You need to pray for the intentions of the Holy Father* (the link below gives you details). This is also part of the Sacred Heart / Immaculate Heart devotions.

4. Receive Communion. Again, go to mass, and you’re set. Say the Creed and Our Father – also part of the mass.

5. NOW AT THE GRAVESITE – bring a prayer for the deceased or even prayers for those in purgatory. See below for an example. Of course, your Google search can help. But I do recommend prayer books (literal paper). There’s a thing about looking at a mobile phone while on top of a grave versus looking at a prayer book with your mouth moving. Catch my drift?

EIGHT DAYS = EIGHT SOULS

You can plan to pray for one soul per day.

This obtains the Plenary Indulgence for that soul that day (if you do this right).

BOOK
At the end of this article is a whole book, “Manual of Indulgences” – from the US Bishop’s office. Read it for more info.

NOTICE THE REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT UNIQUE?

>>”LOVE GOD, HATE SIN" – can summarize the first two requirements.

>>FAVORITE SINS?

Say you have this favorite sin.

You can’t stop doing it.
It gives you pleasure to commit this sin.

Well, for 8 days, you can stop this specific sin.
Confess it. Ask for God’s help to overcome it.
Do this plenary indulgence requirement.

That’s how you start stopping.
Note: You have to detach from all sins; this just gives you a few steps to start.

>>Praying for the Peter of the Roman Catholic Church is also a good thing – as well as praying for your priests.

Do a creed and an “Our Father” specific for The Holy Father’s intention. More details in the links below.

So far, nothing unique here. BASIC CATHOLICISM.

>>Getting Jesus’s Body / Blood during mass = is also not outside the life of a Catholic.

Note: Plenary indulgencies can be acquired only once per day.

JOMAR, I CAN’T FULFILL ONE OF THESE…
You get a partial indulgence for that soul you’re praying for.
Plenary means – that the soul goes straight to heaven once your indulgence is applied to them.
That’s why it’s a big deal this Plenary Indulgence.

GRAVESITE PRAYER: Prayers for the Poor Souls in Purgatory

Lord Jesus, lovingly welcome into Your presence my deceased family, relatives and friends who have completed their journey on this earth, and have gone to their rest in the hope of rejoicing with you forever in heaven.

Source of all life and love, look favorably upon their goodness, and forgive any sins they may have committed, so they may enjoy for all eternity the great rewards You have promised to those who believe in You. Amen.

V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
R. And let the perpetual light shine upon them.

May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

V. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
R. Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Fidelium animae, per misericordiam Dei, requiescant in pace. Amen.

Note: You have to mean this prayer, not just read it.

BOTTOMLINE
You -can only do this during All Saints Week or All Souls Week.

Let’s follow Jesus through the ways the Catholic Church has made it easier for us to do.

Personally, if you follow the Immaculate Heart or Sacred Heart devotions, you already meet most of the requirements.
So you would have an edge there.

But you may already know that.
Good for you!

I love reading exorcism books, not because of the fear factor. I do not watch horror movies. I turn my head and close the audio when something "scary" is shown on screen (trailer?).

If you don’t read exorcism books, you may object to them because they may be "too scary for you" or "your kids." Mostly you, I think. However, these exorcism books were created by Catholic priests, so the focus is on the victory of God against evil. God always wins, of course. Someone who reviewed the Exorcism books on Goodreads said the same thing: God always wins.

So it’s not different from a movie featuring heroes and villains. The fake God of Norse origin, Thor, beats the frozen villains—remember them? Only this time, it’s not fictional; it’s real. And it may be happening to your pew mate at church. You just don’t know. The focus of exorcism books is not on how scary possession is but on how powerless the demons are against the Hail Mary, Exorcised Salt, or Prayers.

So the hero of the exorcism books is not the Hail Mary; it’s the power of God behind these things and prayers. Exorcism books give you information about the faith that you may not be able to get anywhere else.

I just pre-ordered the book Exorcist Files on Audible to support Father Carlos Martins. His book, Exorcist Files, he says, is not the same story as his top podcast (also named Exorcist Files).

We always listen to his "creepy" podcast in the morning so the kids can sleep well. It’s a great way to catechize the kids and ourselves on the demonic and angelic. The added benefit is we can enjoy an "Audio Drama," like I used to when Lola was washing clothes by the river. Everything is in your imagination, as there are no visuals. This audio podcast gives the kids a taste of life before TV or the internet.

As a precaution, do teach and practice deliverance prayers in the family every day so your worries about the effect of Exorcist Files podcast or book will be positive instead of negative. Here’s my suggested prayer book for Deliverance prayers: Deliverance Prayers. Your goal is to eventually memorize the prayers as you wear down the pages of this book by Fr. Chad Ripperger.

If you’re in the Philippines, you can order the same book, Deliverance Prayers, by Fr. Chad Ripperger at this link.

There are four small but thick "Exorcist" and "Exorcism" books in the Philippines. They have gold edge pages—designed like a Bible but smaller. So you know those are the Philippine books. These exorcism books are penned by Father Jocis Syquia of AMOE, the official Exorcism arm of the Archdiocese of Manila, Philippines. We met Father when we were just starting around 2007 when there was only one book. Get all three Exorcism Book Volumes here.

Recently, there are two more Exorcism Books from the Philippine version of the same title: *Exorcist Files 1* and *Exorcist Files 2*, both available in St Paul’s Bookstores all over the Philippines in Shopee links I gave here.

Father Carlos Martins has a podcast named *Exorcist Files*, and now he has a book of the same name: The Exorcist Files: True Stories About The Reality of Evil and How to Defeat It.

From Catholic priest and host of blockbuster hit podcast *The Exorcist Files*, this book is an even deeper dive into how evil attempts to control us and how we can defeat it.

In this pioneering work for believers, nonbelievers, and anyone curious about the supernatural, Father Carlos Martins shares his real-life exorcism case files.

From witchcraft and pagan practices to pornography and emotional trauma, evil looks for any opening to cause us pain and destruction. The *Exorcist Files* lays out how the Catholic Church understands evil and combats it while liberating souls.

In what journalist Rod Dreher calls “an instant classic,” Father Martins partners with psychologists and physicians to distinguish mental illness from demon possession and then lays out a plan for liberation.

Differentiating myth from reality, Father Martins teaches us how to protect ourselves against evil so that we possess freedom as God’s children.

If you pre-ordered Exorcist Files and would like an autographed bookplate, please fill out a form on this page and verify your pre-order. Once you submit it, expect your autographed bookplate (one per order) in several weeks.

Here’s the Amazon link to pre-order Exorcist Files by Fr. Carlos Martins (this is an Amazon Affiliate link; I receive compensation if you buy from this link directly). Look at the image that comes with this article. Locate your Amazon order number.

You’ll have to copy that number into this website so you can get your free bookplate in this link below: Receive Your Autographed Bookplate | *The Exorcist Files: True Stories About The Reality of Evil and How to Defeat It* (ecatholic.com).

Please do this in late October or early November so your purchase will be part of Opening Day Sales; it will impact those this book is intended to reach (the secular audience and cold or lukewarm Catholics).

Once a hacker tricks someone into accessing their Gmail account, they can do some really scary things. Here’s 5 things:

### 1. **Sending Spam and Scams**
Hackers can send spam emails to all of your contacts. Your friends might get tricked into clicking dangerous links or sending money.

### 2. **Stealing Money from Your Bank**
If hackers find banking information in your emails, they can steal money. They might trick your friends into sending them cash, pretending to be you.

### 3. **Taking Over Your Facebook Account**
Hackers can use your stolen Gmail to log into Facebook. Once they are in, they can ask your friends for money, making it seem like you need help.

### 4. **Changing Your Account Settings**
They can change settings in your Gmail account. For example, they might forward all your emails to themselves, so you don’t know someone else is reading your messages.

### 5. **Identity Theft**
Hackers can gather personal information from your emails to impersonate you. This could lead to opening new credit cards or loans in your name, causing big problems later on.
