The above is an exact Summary of Rosary Indulgences as given in
the Index of Indulgences, approved by Pope Leo XIII, at an
audience granted August 29, 1899.
Since the list just given was approved by Pope Leo XIII, his
successor Pope Pius X, added, or rather renewed, an Indulgence
formerly granted by Pope Innocent VIII., viz., that of 100
_years and as many forty days_ daily to members of the Rosary
Confraternity who carry their Rosary beads about with them (July
31, 1906).
A further concession was made by Pope Pius X. (October 13,
1906). To gain the Indulgences attached to the Rosary it is no
longer necessary to say the Five Mysteries at one time. They may
be separated, and a single Mystery may be said at a time.
CONDITIONS FOR GAINING THE INDULGENCES.
1. The contrition mentioned as required for the gaining of an
Indulgence is not an actual condition, but only a necessary
disposition, and indicated merely that the recipient must be in
the state of grace.
2. Weekly Confession, when habitual, suffices for gaining all
the Indulgences, Plenary and Partial, obtainable within the
week.
3. One Communion suffices to gain many plenary Indulgences.
4. Communion on Saturday, or on the Vigil of a feast, suffices,
provided the other conditions prescribed be performed on the
Sunday or feast following.
5. Those unable to receive Holy Communion at the hour of death
can gain the Plenary Indulgence in which the condition of
Communion is required, by invoking the sacred name of JESUS, at
least in heart when they can not do so by word.
6. The visit to the Church, etc., can be made either before or
after Communion.
7. The prayers offered in the Indulgenced Church at the time of
Mass or Communion suffice for the visit.
