  5. Additionally, the elderly, the sick and all those who, for grave reason, cannot leave their homes, will be able to obtain the plenary indulgence by repenting of all sins, and by intending to fulfill the usual three conditions as soon as possible if they have spiritually participated in the Jubilee celebrations, having offered the merciful Lord their prayers and sufferings and the hardships of their lives.

 

The indulgence can also be applied in suffrage for the souls in Purgatory.
