Were Essential Oils Used in Biblical Times?

LD writes: “I am so tired of Christians trying to sell me essential oils! One of the most commonly repeated reasons I get – besides how they can cure everything from cancer to hangnails – is that they ‘come from the Bible.’ It’s true the Magi brought oils to the baby Jesus, but is this the same thing that is being sold by doTERRA and Young Living?”

Beware of Personality and Temperament Assessment Tests

KP writes:  "I was wondering what the difference was between enneagrams (which I know are bad) and other personality tests vs. temperament tests. I often see books like 'The Temperament God Gave You' etc in orthodox catalogs, such as Ignatius Press and Leaflet Missal Company. Do these not both still focus on the self rather than God or is the temperament test designed to help one focus on their weaknesses in terms of attachment to sin and how to overcome this, perhaps?"

Hope for Those With Loved Ones in the New Age

SW writes: "My sister has run the mill of New age stuff. She was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic faith, but was rebaptized into a Siddha yoga group.  She spent some time in an ashram in NY state. I visited her there once, and believe I was hurt spiritually by that visit for a long time. As the big sister, I was trying to rescue her. I have since accepted Jesus as my own personal Lord and Savior. Praise God!

We had it in our home and it wasn't until this week that someone informed him that it was "bad." I had never heard of this controversy until a few days ago. Someone asks the question on the EWTN forum, but doesn't get a response. I would appreciate any information you might have on this. We just handed out 200 of these rosaries to our First Communicants and they were not blessed prior.”
