Would it be proper to ingest blessed salt to help with sins of impurity and if so how much and how often? Thanks alot!
 
I do not feel it would be proper to do this. Sacramentals aren’t charms, and eating them won’t really make a difference. If you are struggling with chastity, then frequent confession, frequent reception of the Eucharist, and a good prayer life will help.

You are incorrect. You can cook with holy water and use blessed salt in your cooking. Blessed oil too. It is proper and it does help.

Additionally, take some holy water and some salt and sprinkle all around the place you live.
 
cook with holy water?
:confused:
this isn’t voodoo you know

I’m with m134e5, we don’t eat luckly charns
 
There are three sacramentals which are exorcised during the blessing. They are Holy Water, Blessed Salt and Blessed Oil.

You can ingest all three. It certainly is not magic. The usage is like a constant prayer by the person using it. It depends on your faith. Sacramentals have a long history in the Church.

A few grains in can be used wherever. You can put a few grains in coffee, you can put it in a salt shaker for seasoning food.

Blessed oil is similar. You can use it in food or on your body or another person to bless them. This is not the same as the annointing of the sick, which only a priest can do.

All three can also be used around a house or on objects.

Another sacramental that has a exorcism blessing is the St. Benedict Medal.
 
I used blessed salt to cook with. As I season with it, I ask Jesus to help all the members of my family to be the “salt of the earth.”

I have also sprinkled it around my property.

We do believe the host, after the consecration, is the true presence of the Jesus Christ, body, blood, soul, and divinity and we do receive Him, ingest him…why would cooking with holy water and/or salt seem like voodoo? Think about it.

Blessed salt can be used in or on food - a friend of mine uses it that way. But as has been said, it’s not a lucky charm - it’s a sacramental. It is our prayers as we use a sacramental that are efficacious. I find sacramentals helpf in focusing my mind as I pray.

The CCC has a section on sacramentals - 1667 - 1673.
 
I take a box of sea salt to our priest to bless twice a year. I put it in food and ask God to bless and protect all of us who partake of this food. I sprinkle it in the four corners of the rooms of my home praying the st. Michael prayer and demanding all evil leave and Gods grace and blessings to be invited in…I put it under the pillows of the sick to protect them and help guide healing to them. I sprinkle it around my bed and the foundation of my home and ask Gods protection and help. A few grains go in any cough medicine.

Holy water used to sign myself with the cross saying “May this Holy Water and the Blood of Jesus wash me clean of all venial sins and protect me from temptation to worse”. I learned that when I was little. Also to sprinke a little Holy Water around whilst praying for the poor souls. Supposedly it soothes them. I put some in the wash water of my babies and grandbabies, in the laundry rinse water with the above prayer. I have some in a spray bottle and if I have a scary dream I spray the air around me, say a prayer and go back to sleep secure in the Lord. If someone unsettling comes to the door, after they leave I use the spray like spiritual air cleaner. I spray my little car also.

I have blessed small wooden crucifixes over all my doors, like the Jesuits had in Hiroshima. They were in the wipe on zone but survived and the church and house was still standing. Also a St. Benedict medal over all windows and tv’s and computers.

I dont think this is wrong because the Church GAVE us the Sacramentals as helpers and when people come in to our home for some reason, they always comment on how peace full and lovely it feels without knowing why. Its a good opening to explain the use of sacramentals to Catholics and to evangilize others. Did you ever hear and see the blessing of the Holy Water…in these times of moral deterioration with the children being targeted in school to lose their faith and Christians under attack all over, you better believe I use all of the above and thank God for the Gift of them.

Blessed Salt can be ingested. In the traditional baptismal rite, blessed salt is put in the baby’s mouth, and the Priest says something about this being their first food of the earth or something similar to that. SO… if blessed salt has been used in the Baptismal rite of the Church for centuries, I think it must be ok.
 
I am new to this forum but my brother and I are going through hard times and I was told that Blessed salt would help our family. How can I get some blessed salt to help us through this.
