The Vatican City has announced a special opportunity for those who pray in front of the altar of any Franciscan Church from December 8th to February 2nd. During this time, individuals have the chance to obtain complete absolution as part of the 800th anniversary of the construction of the first chapel by St. Francis of Assisi in Grazio, Italy.

This special permission was granted after the ‘Conference of the Franciscan Family’ appealed to Pope Francis. In a letter written by the Franciscan community, it was emphasized that this opportunity is meant to give spiritual awakening to the faithful and to make the life of grace abundant.

The Apostolic Penitentiary of the Vatican clarified that complete absolution can be achieved by following the normal instructions for the release of pain. Additionally, those who cannot fully follow the instructions have the opportunity to obtain a complete release of pain. However, it is important to note that the absolution will be complete only if it is done in conjunction with the method established by the Holy Church for absolution, such as confession, reception of the Holy Eucharist, and prayer for the appointment of the Pope.

This special opportunity is a significant event for those in the Franciscan community and provides a unique chance for individuals to seek spiritual healing and grace. The Feast of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception on December 8th marks the beginning of this special period, which continues until the Feast of the Apparition of Jesus in the Church on February 2nd.
