Sacramentals are more than just "holy objects." In the Catholic tradition, they are sacred signs—instituted by the Church—that prepare the soul to receive grace and sanctify different circumstances of life. While the Rosary and Miraculous Medal remain household names, an entire treasury of "lost" or obscured sacramentals has faded into the background of modern devotional life. Let’s explore the history, the artistry, and the profound spiritual intent behind these overlooked relics of faith.
The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
