Revised Edition (1941)

Part Three: The Sacraments and Prayer

The Sacramentals

Lesson 36 from the Baltimore Cathechism

469. What are sacramentals?

Sacramentals are holy things or actions of which the Church makes use to obtain for us from God, through her intercession, spiritual and temporal favors.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that those who believe in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. (John 3:14-15)

470. How do the sacramentals obtain favors from God?

The sacramentals obtain favors from God through the prayers of the Church offered for those who make use of them, and through the devotion they inspire.

471. What are the chief benefits obtained by the use of the sacramentals?

The chief benefits obtained by the use of the sacramentals are:

  1. actual graces;
  2. the forgiveness of venial sins;
  3. the remission of temporal punishment;
  4. health of body and material blessings;
  5. protection from evil spirits.

472. Which are the chief kinds of sacramentals?

The chief kinds of sacramentals are:

  • blessings given by priests and bishops;

  • exorcisms against evil spirits; third, blessed objects of devotion.

473. Which are the blessed objects of devotion most used by Catholics?

The blessed objects of devotion most used by Catholics are: holy water, candles, ashes, palms, crucifixes, medals, rosaries, scapulars, and images of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin, and the saints.

And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. (Luke 1:10)

474. How should we make use of sacramentals?

We should make use of the sacramentals with faith and devotion, and never make them objects of superstition.

No. I can’t read your mind. But, I can assure you that you would not like the meaning behind that ping and Logitech’s reply to me.

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

I never intended to write to Salvation at all. He is the one who wrote to me and Logitech to begin with. My whole intention was only to ping Logitech on this post, which was what I did. There was nothing personal to Salvation about this. I guess I could have just ignored Salvation’s initial question to us, but I did not want to act as though I did not receive it.

Good, then it shouldn’t be a problem keeping the thread on the issues!

Yes, right, because I never intended to write on this thread at all, except to ping someone to it back when it was posted a day ago.
