The Plenary Indulgence

Little Susie has a life-changing experience, when she attends the Beatification Mass for Father Solanus Casey, at Ford Fild, in Detroit. An amazing spiritual experience has a profound influence on her future, which her doting parents could never have predicted.Based on a true story, at least in part. The Beatification Mass happened very much as Susie experienced it. The author, Debbie Barry, was so moved by her participation in this historic Mass, that she had to express it. "An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints. An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin. Indulgences may be applied to the living or the dead.” -- Catechism of the Catholic Church (http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_P4G.HTM)
