Catholic Church Grants Plenary Indulgence Kerala 2020 (പൂർണ ദണ്ഡവിമോചനം)

The dawn of the New Year 2020 arrived in India with an extraordinary gift from Heaven for the Catholic Christians, through Its official representative on earth - the Pope. It is a rare and priceless opportunity for all those children of God who had got their sins forgiven and absolved through the Holy Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) to be free from the consequences (aftermath) of the sins committed and attain the state of holiness. 

[According to the beliefs and teachings of the Catholic Church, sins of any nature (however grave they are) are forgiven by the Almighty God when confessed with a true and repentant heart to a Catholic Priest. But the expiation of the sins committed and forgiven are complete only when due reparation for the guilt is made either in this world before death through physical / mental sufferings or in the purgatory after death. Through availing plenary Indulgences offered by the Church (Pope) from time to time, complete atonement can be gained easily and smartly!]

The Holy Father has made this remarkable declaration about the 'full and complete indulgence' in connection with the 150th anniversary of St Chavara Kuriakose Elias' Heavenly entry on January 3rd, 2020. One can avail absolute indulgence by personally visiting the pilgrim centre at Mannanam near Kottayam in Kerala where the tomb of Saint Chavara Kuriakose Eliyas is situated. 

Period of time (dates and days) to avail 'plenary indulgence' in Kerala:

The Pope has granted plenary indulgence to each and everyone who visits the tomb of the Saint at Mannanam and fulfil the minimum requirements any day during a period one full year (2020). The door of Grace granting plenary indulgence opened on 3rd January 2020 and will be available until 3rd January 2021.

How to avail plenary Indulgence? What are the requirements?

Taking advantage of plenary Indulgence is very simple. [If one knows the actual value of an indulgence, he/she will take any amount of trouble to own it. As mentioned above it is priceless]. There are no physical or financial requirements. 

The only requisite to attain indulgence is to have a desire to be holy and in the Love of the ever loving Divine Father and Redeemer Jesus Christ.

Then observing these simple things will get you complete indulgence.

1. Make a thorough self examination and detect all sins and Detest them with a contrite heart.
