I’m not particularly knowledgeable about sacramental past the Miraculous Medal and the Scapular.

However, isn’t there a prohibition against the sale of blessed objects? I don’t know if it applies to the prayer cloth you mentioned or the site from which it came.

Thoughts?

Good Question. Since it is mail order style what happens is the minute it is bought or money taken out of my account for the medal it is now mine in their care so they go to St Benedict Priest(Any priest can bless it since 1964 but they know St Benedict priests in there area to bless it). So in other words it is blessed after the fact that I bought it. And let me tell you I have real spiritual comfort and miracles with the spiritual goods from this apostlalate

No there isn't...however if your religious store sells silver Miraculous medals for $15.00, it cannot charge more for those which have been sent to Rome and blessed by the Pope......you cannot charge for the blessing.
