GETTING SACRAMENTALS BLESSED
This article contains a general overview of the Roman Ritual and an encouragement for getting water, salt, oil, and candles blessed.  With that in mind, this article also contains the Latin/English text for those blessings, in case a priest does not yet have the Roman Ritual
 

THE SACRAMENTAL KEY TO THE COFFERS OF GRACE
Though we have the great benefits of the Holy Eucharist and Confession, we are still weak and often stung by the darts of the Enemy in this pilgrimage toward Heaven.  This is a reflection on the proper dispositions we must have to fully enjoy the graces from the Sacraments, and how the sacramentals aid in that disposition.
 
 
 
THE IMPACT OF BLESSED CANDLES
Candles can be blessed on Candlemas and on any day of the year, with two unique blessings, depending on the day, each containing the same power, from God, to deliver us from the many connivings of the Enemy.
