40 Hours of Eucharistic Adoration
Leading up to Corpus Christ

From the Sunday of Pentecost to the day of the Corpus Christi Procession in Lansing on June 21st, each parish in the Diocese of Lansing, each in turn, will host 40 Hours of Eucharistic Adoration for the intention of bringing the Gospel of Hope to the world. This golden thread of parish throughout the Diocese of Lansing will culminate in a tapestry glory paraded through the streets of Lansing: Christ’s Real Presence in His Body and Blood!

Abstaining from Media on Fridays

On the Fridays of the Year, the Diocese of Lansing is encouraging the faithful to enter into the spirit of penance—and entering into a weekly opportunity of gaining the Jubilee Year indulgence—by abstaining from media (outside of that which is necessary for work or schooling). As Angelo Cardinal De Donatis explains, the “Jubilee Plenary Indulgence can also be obtained through initiatives that put into practice, in a concrete and generous way, the spirit of penance which is, in a sense, the soul of the Jubilee. In particular the penitential nature of Friday can be rediscovered through abstaining, in a spirit of penance, at least for one day of the week from futile distractions—real but also virtual distractions, for example, the use of the media and/or social networks” (Apostolic Penitentiary, Decree on the Granting of Indulgence during the Ordinary Jubilee Year 2025)

The Jubilee Indulgence

  1. Make a brief pilgrimage to the Cathedral as a sign of your deep desire for true conversion and hope in the Lord’s Goodness.
  2. Prayer. Devoutly participate in Holy Mass at the Cathedral or any of the following: a celebration of the Word of God; the Liturgy of the Hours (office of readings, lauds, vespers); the Via Crucis [Way of the Cross]; the Marian Rosary; the recitation of the Akathist hymn; a penitential celebration, which ends with the individual confessions of the penitents.
  3. Confess your sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation within about twenty days before or after your pilgrimage to the Cathedral.
  4. Receive Holy Communion, reflecting on the hope God gives.
  5. Pray for the Pope and for the intentions that he bears in his heart for the good of the Church and of the entire world. Any prayer may be said, according to personal devotion, but the Our Father and Hail Mary are suggested.
  6. The Indulgence can be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other persons living on earth.
  7. A Plenary Indulgence can be gained only once per day. Though, a second can be obtained if it is applied to the souls in purgatory.
