Is there a special form required for the blessing of salt?

[WoundedIcon]

Because I had a “general” blessing done on several items inside a bag real quick after Mass and I was wondering if the salt in there is counts as a sacramental now or not.

My priest would never simply bless a “bunch of things” in a bag. He isn’t aware what he is blessing. That is dangerous.

My priest wants to see each specific item. eg: rosaries must be taken out of the bag.

There is a special blessing for Blessed Salt.

I would suggest, possibly seeing a different priest for these blessings.

Yes, there is a special form for the exorcism of salt, as with several other things. I’m not sure there is a form for a pig-in-a-poke blessing.



Here is the form for the exorcism of salt (Rituale Romanum):

God’s creature, salt, I cast out the demon from you by the living + God, by the true + God, by the holy + God, by God who ordered you to be thrown into the water-spring by Eliseus to heal it of its barrenness. May you be a purified salt, a means of health for those who believe, a medicine for body and soul for all who make use of you. May all evil fancies of the foul fiend, his malice and cunning, be driven afar from the place where you are sprinkled. And let every unclean spirit be repulsed by Him who is coming to judge both the living and the dead and the world by fire.

All: Amen.

Let us pray.
Almighty everlasting God, we humbly appeal to your mercy and goodness to graciously bless + this creature, salt, which you have given for mankind’s use. May all who use it find in it a remedy for body and mind. And may everything that it touches or sprinkles be freed from uncleanness and any influence of the evil spirit; through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

Have a bag of salt exorcised and use in your daily cooking, spread some along the window sills and doors of your house to keep away demons (even though demons are immaterial, they still seem to go through doors and windows for some reason). It’s a powerful sacramental.
