The other day my non-Catholic husband asked me last night why we have certain items blessed by a priest, after I left a necklace with a medal of the Holy Spirit on it to be blessed by one of my priests. I was kind of stumped; I know we sometimes do it and I feel better knowing they’re blessed, but why do we have it done?

Also, I just bought a lovely rosary bracelet, should I have it blessed, too?

A Blessing is also a (“Sacramental”) an outward sign of a invisible spiritual inward good.

Perhaps this web-link will help answer your question crossroadsinitiative.com/library_article/49/Sacramentals__their_role_in_Catholic_Sacramental_Life.html
