Speaking at the Angelus on Sunday, Pope Francis invited everyone to receive the “Pardon of Assisi”, which can be obtained from the evening of 1 August until midnight on 2 August.
St. Francis obtained this spiritual gift from God through the intercession of the Virgin Mary.
“It is a plenary indulgence that may be received by partaking of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist and visiting a parish or Franciscan church, reciting the Creed, the Lord’s prayer and praying for the Pope and his intentions,” the Pope pointed out.
He recalled that the indulgence can even be obtained for a deceased person.
...The indulgence was later extended to anyone who visits a parish or Franciscan church on 1 August or 2 August.
