When I bought my Bible a few years ago I had one of my priests bless it. Whenever I mention this to people, they’re surprised and say they never thought of having a Bible blessed. Have anyone here had theirs blessed or is this unusual?
 
Mine are blessed and everyone I’ve ever bought gets blessed. Thought it was very common.
 
My Bible was blessed when I was given it. My entire RCIA class was given a Bible as a gift when we started classes and the priest blessed them before handing them out.
 
I wonder what kind of benefits come from having it blessed though.
 
This is very interesting. My friend (Ukrainian Greek Catholic) once told me that one should not get a Bible blessed, that the Bible, by holding the Word of God and the Gospel of Life, actually blesses you when you read it or use it. That is to say, I don’t think you can’t get it blessed, just that you really shouldn’t, since the Bible blesses you.

I just found it peculiar. Anyone heard similarly?
