Your Plans for the Feast of Ss. Peter and Paul
An Early Morning Solemn Angelus
In the rural, people say the 6:00am Angelus while kneeling outside under their garden trees. Having finished, they bow deeply and make the Sign of the Cross, believing the blessing of the Holy Father is carried by angels throughout the world to all who sincerely await it.
Using Articles of Devotion Blessed by the Pope or Any Bishop.
The faithful, who devoutly use an article of devotion (crucifix or cross, rosary. scapular or medal) blessed by the Sovereign Pontiff or by any Bishop gain a plenary indulgence on the feast of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, provided they also make a profession of faith according to any legitimate formula. (n.35)
You weren't really going to let the feast of St. Peter pass without praying for Papa, were you? The faithful who recite this prayer on any day receive a partial indulgence. (n.39)
V. Let us pray for our Sovereign Pontiff, Benedict XVI.
R. The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
While you're on your knees, a partial indulgence is granted any day for the following prayer. (n.53)
Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, intercede for us.
Guard your people, who rely on the patronage of your apostles Peter and Paul, O Lord, and keep them under your continual protection. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
