“A couple years ago, I had purchased several ‘Pardon Crucifixes’ that were approved by Pope Pius X, regarding certain indulgences. I first bought one in Betania, Venezuela. God has given me several coincidences with the Crucifix. I don’t feel comfortable without one around my neck. It is a powerful indulgence/purgatory sacramental.+
“One day, I was talking to a co-worker. I was reading his dictionary to find the definition of the word ‘quarantine.’ Why — it is a word that appears in the original prayer card that comes with the Crucifix!
+
“As I was reading his dictionary in his office, on his computer screen the name ‘Pope Pius X credit union’ appeared. We worked with credit union insurance programs.
+
“A powerful sign from God that indeed, the indulgence Crucifix is a powerful sacramental to be worn. It has to be blessed by a priest, according to the original directive, which I do.
+
“Even though the Church now does not apply the number of days to indulgences, like a holy priest friend of mine told me regarding this issue, God is free to whatever He wants regarding indulgences, specific to the original directive regarding days.”
