Forgive me if everyone already knows about this site. It is from a family with 11 kids who offer many sacramentals on their site. Of particular interest to the CHN forum users might be this St. Monica's conversion package We just purchased one of their grab bags because all of it looks so cool!

I checked out this site and although it seemed like a lot of interesting stuff, I did laugh at the thought of St Joseph's magic beans. I suppose a bean can be blessed as much as anything but it struck me as odd.
The question that came to my mind while reading some of the offerings was what does it mean for something to have been touched by a first class relic. It listed that something was touched to a first class relic of Padre Pio and I got to thinking if this means his body then what were they doing with his body? Wasn't he buried? I don't quite get the whole touching relics thing. How far does it transfer supernatural power? Could someone give me some perspective on it?
