INDULGENCE
The remission of the temporal punishment due for sins, and hence, the satisfaction owed to God for one’s sins, is called an indulgence. The Church grants such indulgences after the guilt of sin and its eternal punishment have been remitted by sacramental absolution or by perfect contrition (canon 992). Indulgences are plenary or partial; plenary, when they remit all of the temporal punishment resulting from sin; partial, when a part of this punishment is remitted. Should one seek to gain a plenary indulgence but, because of some unforgiven venial sin, not all of the temporal punishment is taken away, that person gains at least a partial indulgence (canon 993).
As granted by the Church in terms of time (years, day and quarantines), a partial indulgence remits as much of the temporal punishment as would be expiated by the performance of a canonical (imposed) penance in the early Church for that length of time or for the penances of a fasting season (quarantine). Indulgences granted by the Church may be gained for oneself or for the souls in purgatory, unless otherwise declared, but no one can gain an indulgence for another living person (canon 994).

HEAVEN, PURGATORY & HELL
What is heaven? Heaven is the endless moment of love. Nothing more separates us from God, whom our soul loves and has sought our whole life long. Together with all the angels and saints we will be able to rejoice forever in and with God.
What is purgatory? Purgatory, often imagined as a place, is actually a condition. Someone who dies in God’s grace (and therefore at peace with God and men) but who still needs purification before he can see God face to face is in purgatory.
What is hell? Hell is the condition of everlasting separation from God, the absolute absence of love.
What is the Last Judgment? The Last Judgment will take place at the end of the world, at the second coming of Christ. “All who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.”
