PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR THE RECITATION OF THE ROSARY
(Rosarii Marialis recitatio)
Under the usual conditions (according to the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum):
§1 A PLENARY INDULGENCE is granted to the faithful who:
1° devoutly recite the Rosary in a church or oratory, or in a family, a religious community, or an association of the faithful, and in general when several of the faithful gather for some honest purpose;
2° devoutly join in the recitation of the Rosary while it is being recited by the Supreme Pontiff and broadcast live by radio or television. In other circumstances, the indulgence will be partial.
The Rosary is a prayer formula consisting of fifteen decades of ‘Hail Marys’ preceded by the ‘Our Father’, during the recitation of which we piously meditate on the corresponding Mysteries of our redemption.
Regarding the plenary indulgence for the recitation of the Rosary, the following is prescribed:
1. The recitation of a third part of the Rosary is sufficient (five decades, or, one set of Mysteries), but the five decades must be recited without interruption.
2. Devout meditation on the Mysteries is to be added to the vocal prayer.
3. In its public recitation the Mysteries must be announced in accord with approved local custom, but in its private recitation it is sufficient for the faithful simply to join meditation on the Mysteries to the vocal prayer.
