SOUL SOLDIERS
Now more than ever, the Faithful Departed are in need of our Prayers and Actions

WHO is a Soul Soldier?
​
A Catholic, not excommunicated or in schism, who strives to gain a plenary indulgence for the soul of a faithful departed - while gaining many partial indulgences for him/herself - by following the prescribed conditions and performing one of the prescribed works listed below.

WHY​​ be a Soul Soldier?

By God's grace, we participate in prayers and actions that have indulgences attached to them, and as an extraordinary gift, we apply the plenary indulgences to departed souls - to bring the necessary restoration and reparation without further sufferings that would normally accompany it.

Works and Conditions

​WORKS

​​​1. Reading of SACRED SCRIPTURE for at least one half an hour.

​2. Recitation of the MARIAN ROSARY in a church or public oratory, or in a family group or religious Community. The five decades must be recited continuously. The vocal recitation must be accompanied by meditation on the mysteries.

3. ​Exercise of the WAY OF THE CROSS made before stations legitimately erected. Movement from one station to the next is required, as well as meditation on the Passion and Death of the Lord, which need not be a particular consideration of the individual mysteries of the stations.

​4. ADORATION of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The visit needs to last for at least one half an hour.

5. ​Obtainable on special OCCASIONS and on special DAYS.

​CONDITIONS

​1. Be in a good relationship with God, FREE FROM MORTAL SIN, and an INTERIOR DISPOSITION of complete detachment from any sin, venial or mortal, at the time each indulgenced work is completed.

2. SACRAMENTAL CONFESSION within 20 days before or after the indulgenced work. One (1) Confession suffices for several plenary indulgences.

3. Receive HOLY COMMUNION for EACH plenary indulgence. The condition must be satisfied within 20 days before or after each indulgenced work.
 
4. Pray for the INTENTIONS OF THE POPE on the same day the indulgenced work is performed. Prayer is left to the choice of the faithful, but an OUR FATHER and a HAIL MARY are suggested.
