Liz and Nick are going to be baptized at the end of this month
part of the homework that we have to do with Liz is find out what sacrementals are and what they are used for. (we are Catholic). I for the life of me can't remember it all (heck its been 20+ years and haven't practiced much until lately of course.

I'm not Catholic, but I googled it, and found this: http://www.crossroadsinitiative.com/...ntal_Life.html

Is that helpful?

Sacrementals are things consecrated to religious use -- think of them like the flag. Do you not stand at a parade and put your hand over your heart as the flag goes by? Just as we have respect for those things related to our country, we have respect for those things related to God.

Sacramentals are really just objects which serve to remind you of Christ and the saints, and which serve to remind you pray more, and so try to live a holy life. That's about the simplest explanation I can give you.

Try this link - it might help explain it a bit better than I can :
