Salt has been used throughout history for preserving and flavoring foods. In the Bible, people used salt in sacrificial offerings. Jesus called his disciples the “salt of the earth.” He meant that by taking his words to heart, living by them, and sharing his teachings with others, they would spiritually “season” and “preserve” the world. Today, blessed salt is a Church-approved sacramental — a tangible aid to prayer intended to help you deepen your faith and increase God’s grace in your life.

You are invited to request blessed and exorcised salt from the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal for your family’s use and to share with loved ones. Each six-ounce bottle of salt has been blessed with the prayer of exorcism pronounced over it by Father Clay Kilburn, C.M., in accordance with the Roman Ritual. The suggested donation of $15 covers the cost of packaging and shipping, but more importantly, the ministry of spreading devotion to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.
