Getting an object blesses

[LennyFL]

What exactly is the point of this. I heard that it takes the sin out of an object but if this is the case how can an object have sin? What can you get blessed? I know the obvious, like a statue of the Virgin Mary or a Rosary, but would I be able to get like a phone or a piece of jewelry blessed? What does a blessing do? Does it make an object better? What spiritual things come along with a blessing? Thank you!

In part, blessing something sets it aside for a sacred purpose.

I can wear a necklace of any kind and it may be pretty or fashionable or decorative. There’s nothing wrong with that. But when I wear my (blessed) St. Benedict Medal, it’s a sign of who I am and Whose I am. It’s a reminder of what I value.

I’ve been a Catholic for years, but you guys in RCIA can be interesting, because you can ask the spiritual equivalent of, “Why is the sky blue?”
