New Catholic of Rorate Caeli reminds us today that the apparition at Lourdes will have its 150th anniversary this week . As such, the Apostolic Penitentiary has decreed : Each and every member of the Christian faithful who, truly repentant, is purified through sacramental confession, restored through the Most Holy Eucharist and offers prayers for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff, will be able to gain a Plenary Indulgence daily, which may also be applied, by way of suffrage, to the souls of the faithful in Purgatory. The conditions to attain this indulgence and other links of interest are to be found on the Rorate Caeli blogsite and the visit must occur before February 11th .
