The prescribed work

Historical reference only: pilgrimage, sacred visits, specified formation, mercy and penitential works were covered during the Jubilee.
Its special second plenary indulgence in a day for the departed was a Jubilee exception.

The work and its conditions

A plenary indulgence also requires complete detachment from every sin, sacramental confession, Holy Communion, and prayer for the Pope’s intentions, subject to the grant’s stated exceptions. The ordinary limit is one plenary indulgence per day.

Conditions common to every indulgence

The person gaining an indulgence must be baptized, not excommunicated, and in the state of grace at least when the prescribed works are completed. There must be at least a general intention to gain indulgences, and the prescribed work must be performed at the time and in the manner required by the grant.

Read the full conditions and norms. The cited grant and its specific provisions govern.

Time required

Read each branch with its own conditions. An editorial estimate is not a prescribed minimum.

Duration varies

Variable; no fixed number of minutes is prescribed.

No fixed minimum number of minutes is stated. This archive card groups several former works with different requirements, so no single work duration is accurate. Some penitential alternatives involved at least one day. The Jubilee validity dates are not an exercise duration; see the historical decree for the chosen route.
