Fr Whalen's Healing Oil of St Raphael

Dear Stephen: Blessed oil is a sacramental. It is perfectly okay to receive and use blessed oil. The only caution is that as laymen we should not use that oil as if we were a priest or in anyway replace the use of Blessed Oil with the priestly function of conferring the Sacrament of Annointing. Otherwise, the Blessed Oil can be used in simliar fashion as Holy Water. You can use it to place a cross, in oil, above the doorposts and windows, for example, or use it to bless your children, and in other ways similar to how we use Holy Water.
