Explaining Actions, Signs and Objects that Catholics use
Whinder, Fr Richard
An introduction to Sacramentals – things and actions through which the Church conveys a blessing.
Some of these will be very familiar to most Catholics, whether objects such as rosaries, palms, water, oil, or holy medals, or common gestures such as the Sign of the Cross, blessings or genuflection. Others will be less familiar.
A brief theological introduction accompanies an extensive listing of different varieties of sacramental, with concise information on their use.
An index is included.
