Octave of Easter Plenary Indulgence in honor of Divine Mercy

On the Octave of Easter, the Liturgy speaks to us in the Epistle (1 Jn 5) of the blood and water which flowed forth from the Savior's side and which is applied to us after our Baptism in the Sacrament and Confession, instituted in todays Gospel (Jn 20). In honor of God's mercy revealed to us on this day, a plenary indulgence, under the usual conditions, is granted to those who take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy, or who, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or in the tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the Merciful Lord Jesus. If unable to get to church for the above, one may gain the same indulgence by reciting the aforesaid prayers before a devout image of Our Merciful Lord Jesus.
