Just 2 small questions

[mom2em]

Recently, I was given a rosary and a St. Gerard medal that were both once my great/grandmothers. I was so thankful for the rosary as it came to me when I so very much needed it. I’ve been told that both have been blessed (the rosary and the medal.)

QUESTION: Is it fine to use them now or should I have my priest at my church bless them? even though my mother tells me that they’ve been blessed.

Possibly silly questions, but after being away as long as I have and not really having had any sort of interaction with these lovely items, I just want to make sure I do not do anything incorrectly.

And like I said, I’m so very thankful that they came to me when I needed them so very much.

Any helpful responses is greatly appreciated!

Use them now. They are still blessed No need to re-do (unless they were broken)

Oh my goodness, you’ve made me rather happy! I was afraid that I would be doing something wrong if I chose to use them now. My heart has been literally aching for rosary beads and I just could never seem to find them. Then one day last week, my mother and uncle were cleaning my grandmothers house and found them (she passed away last December) and brought them into me. Works in wonderful wonderful ways!

Neither are at all damaged.

Thank you again!!!

I am glad that you found them.

Interesting… so my rosary sometimes comes unchained at a certain spot and I have just been reconnecting it with barely a second thought. Does this mean I need to get it blessed again or get a new rosary? It honestly didn’t even cross my mind that I might need to do this.

A priest once explained to me that if a sacramental becomes “uncontinuos”, that it is no longer that sacramental (a broken rosary is no longer a rosary, it is a chain), it would need to be re-blessed after being repaired.

if they are blessed then…they are blessed…but if you feel happier asking your priest to bless them then do so, theres no harm getting a blessing
