cpp Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 What are the conditions to get the plenary indulgence given to those who privately pray the Rosary? I can't understand what the [url="http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/tribunals/apost_penit/documents/rc_trib_appen_doc_20020826_enchiridion-indulgentiarum_lt.html"]Enchiridion[/url] says -- just something about praying in a church or in an oratory. I need to start learning Latin if I want to read this kind of stuff. Could someone please clarify this for me? Thanks! [quote]§ 1. Plenaria indulgentia conceditur christifideli qui 1°29Rosarium mariale pie recitaverit in ecclesia aut oratorio, vel in familia, in religiosa Communitate, in christifidelium consociatione et generatim cum plures ad aliquem honestum finem conveniunt; 2° eiusdem precis recitationi, dum a Summo Pontifice peragitur, et ope instrumenti televisifici vel radiophonici propagatur, sese pie univerit. In aliis rerum adiunctis vero indulgentia erit partialis. Est Rosarium certa precandi formula, qua quindecim angelicarum salutationum decades, oratione dominica interiecta, distinguimus et ad earum singulas totidem nostrae reparationis mysteria pia meditatione recolimus. Quoad indulgentiam plenariam pro recitatione Rosarii marialis haec statuuntur: a) sufficit recitatio tertiae tantum eius partis; sed quinque decades continuo recitari debent; b) orationi vocali addenda est pia mysteriorum meditatio; c) in publica recitatione, mysteria enuntiari debent iuxta probatam loci consuetudinem; in privata vero recitatione, sufficit ut christifidelis orationi vocali adiungat meditationem mysteriorum.

cappie Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 48. Recitation of the Marian Rosary (Rosarii marialis recitatio) A plenary indulgence is granted, if the Rosary is recited in a church or public oratory or in a family group, a religious Community or pious Association; a partial indulgence is granted in other circumstances. "Now the Rosary is a certain formula of prayer, which is made up of fifteen decades of "Hail Marys" with an "Our Father" before each decade, and in which the recitation of each decade is accompanied by pious meditation on a particular mystery of our Redemption." (Roman Breviary) The name "Rosary," however, is commonly used in reference to only a third part of the fifteen decades. The gaining of the plenary indulgence is regulated by the following norms: 1. The recitation of a third part only of the Rosary suffices; but the five decades must be recited continuously. 2. The vocal recitation must be accompanied by pious meditation on the mysteries. 3. In public recitation the mysteries must be announced in the manner customary in the place; for private recitation, however, it suffices if the vocal recitation is accompanied by meditation on the mysteries. 4. For those belonging to the Oriental rites, amongst whom this devotion is not practiced, the Patriarchs can determine some other prayers in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary (for those of the Byzantine rite, for example, the Hymn "Akathistos" or the Office "Paraclisis"); to the prayers thus determined are accorded the same indulgences as for the Rosary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
