Article 1 SACRAMENTALS
1672
Certain
blessings have a lasting importance because they consecrate persons to God, or
reserve objects and places for liturgical use. Among those blessings which are
intended for persons – not to be confused with sacramental ordination – are the
blessing of the abbot or abbess of a monastery, the consecration of virgins,
the rite of religious profession and the blessing of certain ministries of the
Church (readers, acolytes, catechists, etc.). the dedication or blessing of a
church or an altar, the blessing of holy oils, vessels, and vestments, bells,
etc., can be mentioned as examples of blessings that concern objects.
