Burke: There Is no Such Thing as 'Non-Liturgical Blessings'
Speaking to Father Ambrose Criste O.Praem. of St Michael's Abbey in Orange County, California, on 13 June, the Cardinal explained that blessings are linked to the sacraments. When a priest gives a blessing, it is intimately connected to the sacred liturgy: "It certainly cannot be said to be non-liturgical."
Furthermore, when someone brings an object to be blessed, it must be fit to receive a blessing and cannot be something that is alien to life in Christ.
"Otherwise we offend the Lord. We show a profound lack of respect and love for our Lord if we try in any way to ask a blessing for something that is sinful".
