Jesus spoke these words to St. Faustina about using indulgences granted by the Church to help souls in purgatory:
“Today bring to Me the Souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.”

On the back of the Crucifix, on the transverse arms, are the words, "Father, forgive them." On the long part of the Cross are the words, "Behold this heart which has so loved men." The Sacred Heart is shown where the two arms of the Cross meet.
Years prior, Pope Pius X had granted specific days, etc., attached to the indulgences. For example, 100 days each time for devoutly kissing the Crucifix. 300 days indulgence for wearing the crucifix. Seven years and seven quaranties for saying the above "Our Father...............prayer. These indulgences can be applied to souls in purgatory as well.
Indulgences are the remission before God of the temporal punishment dues to sins forgiven as far as their guilt is concerned. Prior to the Second Vatican Council, such as the time of Pope Pius X, the norm for determining was seen in the numbers, so many years or many days, attached to every official listing of partial indulgences.
This was changed by Pope Paul Vl. Now, the indulgence depends on the supernatural charity with which the indulgence task is done, and the perfection of the task itself. The Church no longer attaches “days” to indulgences.
