On Divine Mercy Sunday, a plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who do the following:
- Obtain a sacramental confession (within several days before or after)
- Receive the Eucharist
- Pray 6 Our Father’s, 6 Hail Mary’s, and 6 Glory Be’s for the 6 intentions of the Pope (The Exaltation of the Church, The Propagation of the Faith, The Extirpation of Heresy, The Conversion of Sinners, The Concord between Christian Princes, and The Further Welfare of the Christian People)
- In a spirit that is completely detached from the affection of all sin, including venial sin, recite the Our Father and the Creed, and also recite a devout prayer, such as the Divine Mercy prayer.
