Question: Dear Brother, I am wondering if the Indulged Work (for a Plenary Indulgence) can be done a few days before the other requirements Confession, Communion etc.) or would you have to be, at least, gone to confession first, be in a state of Grace to do the Indulged work itself. God Bless you, John
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM+ Dear John: The norms for Indulgences (n 24) states: The three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after the performance of the prescribed work; it is, however, fitting that Communion be received and the prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff be said on the same day the work is performed.

Dear John:

The norms for Indulgences (n 24) states:

The three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after the performance of the prescribed work; it is, however, fitting that Communion be received and the prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff be said on the same day the work is performed.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
