The prescribed work

During the granted period, make a devotional pilgrimage to the parish church of the Natividad de Nuestra Señora (Santa María) and the temple of San Jorge in Alcoy.
There either participate devoutly in the jubilee rites, or spend a suitable time in pious reflection, prayer or another exercise of Christian piety for God’s glory.
In the prayer alternative, pray for peace and concord among peoples in opposition to contemporary evils, concluding with the Our Father, Creed and invocations of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of Peace and Mother of Mercy, and Saint George Martyr.
Be truly repentant and moved by charity, and fulfil the usual plenary conditions, including complete detachment from sin.

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.

The person gaining an indulgence must be baptized, not excommunicated, and in the state of grace at least when the prescribed works are completed.
