My apologies if this is not posted in the right place!
I am a little confused about the plenary indulgences available for the All Saints/All Souls octave.
If I visit a church or public oratory today to gain the indulgence for the dead, and if I visit a cemetery to gain another one, do I need to say the usual prayers (for the Pope's intentions) each time? And if I continue to visit various cemeteries for the next few days, do I need to attend Mass every day? Or does the Mass I attended yesterday suffice?
I still haven't been to confession to gain my indulgence from Christ the King... so would that confession, if I went today, suffice for all of the above?
Haha... I swear I am NOT an indulgence junkie! I am just learning about this octave and I think it's awesome how the Church takes care of her people! I've been a practicing Catholic all my life and never knew about any of these opportunities.
