St. Mary of the Angels of Portiuncula | Portiuncula Indulgence| Pardon of Assisi

Описание: The plenary indulgence of Portiuncula is the greatest treasure that Jesus Christ gave to the Church through the Franciscan Order. August 2nd is a special day to all Franciscans as it recalls the small Assisi-area chapel that became the foundational home of the Franciscan family – the Porciúncula. It is a place rich in the memory of all Franciscans, and its legacy reaches far and wide.
Franciscans continue to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of the Angels of the Porzioncula on August 2,[4] which marks the dedication of the church.[5]

The Porziuncola Indulgence could at first be gained only in the Porziuncola chapel between the afternoon of 1 August and sunset on 2 August.[6] On 5 August 1480 (or 1481), Pope Sixtus IV extended it to all churches of the first and second orders of St Francis for Franciscans. On 4 July 1622, Gregory XV extended the privilege to all the faithful, who, after confession and the reception of Holy Communion, visited such churches on the appointed day. On 12 October 1622, Gregory XV granted the same privilege to all the churches of the Capuchins. Pope Urban VIII granted it for all churches of the regular Third Order on 13 January 1643, and Clement X for all churches of the Conventuals on 3 October 1670.
