Question

If a cross is sold for profit and you bless it yourself with pure intention, does it regain some of its intended holy properties back?

Community Answer

God wants us too spread the word of god. Even if you did bless it yourself, it should not be sold because you should want to show the love of God and that should not cost money.

Question

Is it wrong for a Catholic to wear a crucifix or a saint's medal without it being blessed?

DR Berry

Community Answer

No. Sacred objects, such as a crucifix that you wear around your neck, aren't actually blessed by the priest but are instead importart for what they symbolize.

Question

Must I wear a cross to seek the Lord's blessings?

Community Answer

You don't need to wear a cross to receive blessings from the Christian God. You just need to become a Christian.

Question

Hypothetically, if I stole a cross, is it unholy?

Community Answer

The cross is not unholy, it is the action of theft that lacks an element of holiness. So, your behavior in stealing it would be breaking a basic Christian tenet but the cross itself would be as blessed as always. And hey, don't steal that cross. If you ask for one, many a priest or Christian would happily give or get one for you.

Question

Is it okay if I will be the one to bless my crucifix and candle with my holy water?

You can put holy water on your crucifix and candle and say a prayer, but only a priest has the ability to bless things.

Question

When you said about disposing of the cross, is it fine if you leave the cross on the living room or something or you have to dispose of it? Do you also have to dispose of it?

Torpi

Top Answerer

You don't have to dispose of it. It's just that if the cross has been sold for profit or is very broken, the blessing is lost, so it is no longer taboo to dispose of it properly - but equally, you can still keep it, if you prefer.

Is it okay to give my grandson that is not baptized a cross blessed by a priest?

Purple Person

Community Answer

Yes, just because he is not baptized doesn’t mean he couldn’t benefit from a holy object.

Question

I bought a cross at the flea-market, do I have to bless it myself again?

Community Answer

Those crosses are more of ornaments, considering the lack of sentiments of the seller. So, blessing the cross is a good idea.
