sacramentals
SACRAMENTAL:
Form of religious act, worship, or object which is used to draw one more intimately
to the practice of life in the sacraments. Sacramentals are not sacramentals
until they have been blessed by a priest. Once an object has been blessed, it
cannot be sold, but can be given away. A donation to help support an apostolate
engaged in the spread of a devotion, offering certain sacramentals and blessed
objects, is perfectly acceptable to further the cause of life in the sacraments.
Just as faith without works is dead, so too, sacramentals must be used with
faith - often - to have any real value.
