Does anyone use Holy Water? I’ve never used it at home before. Is Holy Water the same as Baptismal Water? Can I just take some water from the Baptismal font in my Church to use as Holy Water?

Many on these boards use holy water. It is a sacramental. If you have a font at the entrance of your church that people use water from to bless themselves, then, it is probably blessed. Our church has a separate container, however, for those who want to take home some holy water.

Most churches have some sort of container available for people to take holy water home for personal use. Yes, it is the same water used at baptism. It is also in the fonts at each entrance of most churches, or in a common place at the entrance of the church for people to bless themselves each time they enter or leave a church.
Use it frequently at home. Sacramentals are another way of reminding us to get closer to God. God bless you!

You can go to any Catholic bookstore or online store, perhaps even the one attached to this website…and check out a book of blessings for home use. There are many written for different occasions. Just keep praying !
