Embarrassing question to ask, please. I have been rather negligent in having things blessed… and now I find myself with quite a few things I really want blessed. Probably ten candles, 2 crucifixes, and a few boxes of incense. I hate to approach our parish priest loaded down like a pack mule, red faced, and asking if he’d please bless them. I’m afraid he’d think I’ve lost my marbles. :o I’ve heard of people “dropping off” a box of items to be blessed at the church office, and then picking it up later, but somehow that seems rude to me. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to get all my things blessed without the priest thinking I’m a nutcase? :o Thanks in advance!! 🙂
 
On Mother’s Day (2012), I had a medal blessed with a picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Jesus, on the front of the medal, and a most beautiful prayer inside the medal. One of the priests from my church blessed the medal after mass; and he was very happy to do so. I wonder if once a medal, or a holy item, is blessed, if the special blessing remains on the medal, or holy item. I have a little angel that I would love to be blessed; but I don’t want to overstep anything. I suppose it would be nice to have it blessed, but I am not too sure if the priest would want to bless it. Any thoughts please?
