By a special grant from the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See for those who pray for the end of the pandemic, a plenary indulgence is available for those who join Archbishop Gomez in praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart on Good Friday. A plenary Indulgence removes all of the temporal punishment due to sins and may be applied to oneself or to the souls of the deceased [Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1471].To receive this indulgence, a member of the faithful would need to:
pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart on Good Friday
be truly repentant of any sins they have committed and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (at the earliest opportunity)
pray for the Holy Father’s intentions.

It is possible to participate in this special event through a live-stream at facebook.com/usccb. It will be broadcast on Good Friday, April 10, 2020 at 12:00 noon EDT.
