There are other oils available that are used as sacramentals, to anoint the sick or family members. This oil is typically taken from oil lamps burning at a shrine. Again, the oil itself has no healing properties, it is the faith of the user that is powerful. The oils may be used to rub sore muscles or anoint a child who is struggling with a problem at school or with friends. The commonest of these sacramental protections are Saint Benedict medals which can be placed above the doorways of your home for safety and protection.
Many people wear medals on chains around their necks.
These are also protective sacramentals. This is a very common and well-known sacramental that should be in every home. It can be kept in a holy water font in a prominent place so that members of the family can bless themselves upon entering and leaving the house, and before bedtime. It can be sprinkled on family members during blessings, around the home while invoking the protection of the saints and angels, and even drunk. Your parish's years supply of Holy Water is blessed at the Easter Vigil.
