HEROIC ACT OF LOVE,

OR OFFERING OF ALL THE SATISFACTORY
WORKS FOR THE RELIEF OF THE

SUFFERING SOULS IN
PURGATORY.

I, N. N., renounce in favor of the suffer

ing souls in Purgatory, the satisfactory portion of all the good works which, with the assistance of divine grace, I from this day shall perform, as also all the prayers and satisfatory works which may, after my death, be applied to my benefit, and I place them all in the hands of the Most Blessed Virgin, that this Mother of Mercy may dispose of them according to her pleasure.

By a decree of Pius IX, dated Sept. 10, 1852, all the faithful who make this oblation and fulfil the conditions may gain a Plenary Indulgence at every Communion. This Communion is applicable only to the suffering souls. Furthermore, on every Monday a Plenary Indulgence may be gained for the suffering souls by all those who attend Mass and visit a church. (See explanation of Heroic Act, p. 69.)

Our Holy Father, Leo XIII, by a decree of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences, on the 17th day of January, 1888, has granted to all who, during the month of November, perform publicly with others, or in private, special devotions for the souls in Purgatory, the following Indul

gences:

1. An Indulgence of seven years and seven quarantines, every day during the month.

2. A Plenary Indulgence, once a month, provided the usual conditions are observed of Confession and Communion, visit to a church or public oratory, and prayer according to the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.

These Indulgences are applicable to the souls in Purgatory.
