Friday 29 January 2010

Blessed Sebastian Valfre

Blessed Sebastian's Altar in the Oratory Church was paid for by subscriptions from the Brothers at the time of its erection.
In commemoration of his tercentenary, the Paenitentiaria Apostolica has made a plenary indugence available, under the usual conditions, to those who assist at Mass on his Feast, or who pray in the presence of his relics exposed for public devotion:
Paenitentiaria Apostolica, de Summo Pontifice speciali mandato, ejusdemque paternam benevolentiam perquam libenter significans, plenariam largitur Indulgentiam, suetis condicionibus (sacramentali Confessione, eucharistica Communione et oratione ad mentem ejusdem Summi Pontificis) rite adimpletis, christifidelibus vere paenitentibus die trigesimo mensis Januarii anno bismillesimo decimo lucrandam, si cui sacrae functioni in honorem Beati Sebastiani Valfre peractae devote interfuerint, vel saltem coram Beati reliquiis et imaginibus publicae venerationi expositis, per congruum temporis spatium piis vacaverint considerationibus, concludendis Oratione Dominica, Symbolo Apostolorum, nec non invocationibus Beatae Mariae Virginis, Sancti Philippi Nerii et Beati Sebastiani Valfre in Taurinensi Ecclesia Sancti Philipp Nerii, in singulis Sacellis Confoederationis Oratorii Sancti Philippi Nerii et in quocumque loco sacro quo Beatus publice colitur. Pii christifideles senectute vel gravi morbo impediti plenariam consequi valebunt Indulgentiam, si, iubilaribus celebrationibus se spiritaliter adjunxerint, suis precibus et doloribus, seu incommodis propriae vitae, misericordi Deo oblatis.
