Sacramentals are important!
Elijah finished his work and was taken up into the heavens, resulting in the tradition of Elijah’s return before the Day of the Lord’s coming. Elisha inherited his prophetic ministry and power. The cloak that separated the Jordan, just like Moses’ staff, reminds me of blessed Sacramentals. God through the Church, blesses instruments or persons to aid us on our earthly and spiritual journeys. such sacred objects have spiritual effects. Let us remember that Jesus is asking us not to focus only on external practices of our faith but on a heart to heart with Him.
