He tried and tried, but just couldn't get the hang of it! His bike just happened to be in the back of the truck when we went to Mass, and on the spur of the moment, I asked Father Jim to bless the bike. He blessed bike and reader, completely embarrassing the 6-year-old boy. But when we got home, the boy hopped on the bike, and--wonder of wonders!--away he went like a pro! Sometimes a little blessing (and the self-confidence it engenders) is all it takes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-69518195422796349662010-12-23T13:44:20.487-08:002010-12-23T13:44:20.487-08:00Actually the Apocrypha were in the original King J...Actually the Apocrypha were in the original King James Bible.

But I'm still rather confused. When a priest blesses a sacramental, indulgences are obtained when they are used. But what about regular objects? Is there any difference whether a priest or a layman do the blessing? I had my priest bless my new car. Would there have been any difference if I had just blessed it myself?Dancing With Pussycatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873625775453054722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-50198475714425360252010-12-23T05:31:03.435-08:002010-12-23T05:31:03.435-08:00If I recall correctly in the movie version of MASH...If I recall correctly in the movie version of MASH, Fr.
