Our Blogger

Fr. Joseph Jenkins
An important theme for this blog is the scene in the New Testament where Jesus can be found FLOGGING the money-changers out of the temple. My header above depicts a priest FLOGGING the devils that distort the faith and assault believers. The faith that gives us consolation can and should also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

How are Blessings Lost?

Posted on January 21, 2014 by Father Joe

QUESTION: How do you remove a blessing?

ANSWER: Why would you want to forfeit a blessing? When it comes to persons, defilement or serious sin strips us of grace. This is not recommended. When it comes to a sacred object, the blessing is lost with breaking it. That is why burning is an acceptable way because it destroys the honored or blessed item. Old flags are sometimes burned, albeit with reverence and dignity. A blessed rosary loses its blessing by breaking it.
