Holy Water

[starrs0]

Would it be proper for one to drink Holy Water if they were of the disposition that it would benefit them physically and/or spiritually?

Sounds like a superstition sort of thing.

Sacramentals shouldn’t be used that way.

YOu know how to make holy water? You take regular water, put it on the stove and boil the hell out of it! hahahahaha, funny right?!!

One of our priests always drank a cupful whenever he blessed a new batch.

I wouldn’t recommend drinking it from the font or the Baptismal Pool. Blessing doesn’t disinfect it.

You can drink our Lourdes water. It was found by Saint Bernadete by word of the virgin Mary to bring sound health of mind and Body. There is another spring in Maryland too. If you drink Spring water, it is the very best water in the world you can drink as it is cleaned by Father God and not the FEDGOD.

can anyone make Holy Water?? I heard claims that this is true.

Of course Holy Water can be consumed.

To make it either get water blessed by a Priest, or get some salt blessed and add the blessed salt to some water.

That would be a good idea, take some Holy water balloons to an abortion clinic and start tossing them Or a super-soaker squirt gun. But seriously, can just a regular person make Holy water? I thought there was a prayer or something to do so. Maybe I was wrong Thanks!

 

[Fergal]

No Dave. Only the blessing of a priest can ‘make’ Holy water. The blessing cen be directly on the water or on salt which is later added to water.

Actually, that was one of the ways St. Teresa of Avila used holy water.
