Candles, oil, incense Clement Friday, May 25, 2007

Question:

Hi, its me again :)

The priest blesses the olive oil during Chrism Mass and candles during Candlemas. I’m just wondering, is there any mass where the priest blesses the incense? Also, for private devotion/prayers, must the candles and incense be blessed by a priest first before we can use it at home? Thanks again and God Bless.


Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Clement:

Incense is generally blessed just before it is used during the Mass or is blessed outside of Mass and then again just before its use in Mass.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
