3 powerful sacred objects that cannot be missing in the home because they bring the grace of God

Today we talk about Sacramentals sacred objects that can be considered an extension of the Sacraments themselves. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, they are sacred signs that have the purpose of preparing men to receive the fruits of the sacraments and sanctify the different circumstances of life.

They were established so that everyone can have a more intimate and profound relationship with Jesus Christ and are part of the life of the Church since its origins. However, many Catholics have them used incorrectly over the centuries as no one taught them their purpose and meaning. Who uses them as means of superstition commits a grave sin.

It is therefore important to clarify what they are for and how to use them. Sacramentals serve to enrich faith and bring God's grace into what people do where they live. Many certainly have them at home, like the Crucifix, Benedict salt and Holy Water. Each of these has a particular function and purpose.

THEHoly water it is a symbol of ours baptism and our redemption. It's another sign that the devil hates, as it recalls the defeat of the demon on Easter day. We can bless our home with holy water as a sign of purification and remember to keep ourselves pure and away from the influence of the devil.

Il blessed salt it is a powerful means of healing and purification against evil. We can place it in the corners of the house or carry it with us in a bag, as protection against the attacks of the evil one. It is a symbol of God's protection over people and places where it is used. Also Father Amorth, a well-known exorcist, recommended using it for protection.
