Father Ralph Weimann: The importance of sacramentals

"During the last decades, sacramentals seem too often to have been marginalized, even though they are supposed to be the daily bread of any priest, as well as of the laity," affirms Fr. Ralph Weimann, author of the new book Sacramentals: Their Meaning and Spiritual Use. Drawing from Scripture and the Tradition of the Church, Fr. Weimann has succeeded in closing this gap by striking a proper balance between the natural and the supernatural, between reason and revelation. He breaks open how sacramentals developed in the history of the Church and their definition in modernity, both in the liturgical documents of Vatican II and the Code of Canon Law. Sacramentals are meant to "produce spiritual effects" in the daily lives of the faithful," Father shares.
