Any object set apart and blessed by the Church to excite good thoughts, to increase devotion, and thus to remit venial sin. The name signifies that the article blessed has some resemblance to a sacrament, inasmuch as it is a means of grace; but a sacramental differs from a sacrament in this, that the latter always produces grace directly when there is no obstacle on the part of the recipient, while the former produces it only indirectly, by causing devotion in the mind of the user. The sacramentals include:

• agnus Dei
• ashes
• bells
• candles
• cross
• crucifix
• holy oils
• holy water
• incense
• palms
• religious medals
• rosary
• scapulars
• sign of the cross
• stations of the cross
• vestments
