Blessing on the radio

[paperclip21]

Hey everyone,

I’ve just started listening to Immaculate Heart radio through iTunes (I live in Australia and we don’t have anything nearly as good). I’ve been loving it! Although everytime they end a program with a priest present they ask for his blessing, but is the blessing valid through the radio? Is it anything like getting one from a physically present priest?

Thanks and God bless!

Hey, I’m fortunate enough to listen to Immaculate Heart Radio over the airwaves in my area, so I’m familiar with what you’re talking about. I don’t know what a priestly blessing does, exactly, anyway, but I always make the sign of the cross when I hear them blessing me on the radio and I assume it is equally effective, whatever effect it has.

I believe the blessings reach all who are faithful and hearing the show. My personal opinion.

Just to add another spin to this what if its a Blessing from a show recorded years ago??? Like Mother Angelicas show or something.

My guess is that the application is completely dependent upon the priest’s intention when he gives the blessing.
