In what doc would I find the idea of a priest adding water to the wine during the Liturgy?

[MarcoPolo]

Where would I find the provision that instructs priests to put water into the cup at the Liturgy? Is that in canon law? Something else? If someone knows a specific reference, I’d be most appreciative.

It is in the Roman Missal and the General Insturuction (GIRM)

1. The sacrament is “the visible sign of a sacred reality and the visible form of an invisible grace.”[111] This definition of the Council of Trent is still valid, since it refers to the elements which constitute the Sacrament of the Eucharist: the minister, those who receive the Sacrament and the perceivable aspects.

As for the matter of the Sacrament, the Eucharist can only be celebrated with bread and wine, with some drops of water to express the union of the holy people with the sacrifice of Christ.[112] The water, however, is not strictly necessary for validity.[113] According to our Catholic faith, the form of the Sacrament is the words of consecration, which are essential and solely necessary.[114]

Moreover, it’s right there in the New Testament where it says.
John 19:34
But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.

Also, it is stipulated in the Council of Florence, the Bull of Union with the Armenians:

The third is the sacrament of the Eucharist. Its matter is wheat bread and wine from the vine, to which ***a very little water is added ***before the consecration. Water is added thus because it is believed, in accordance with the testimony of Holy Fathers and Doctors of the Church manifested long ago in disputation, that the Lord Himself instituted this sacrament in wine mixed with water, and because it befits the representation of the Lord’s Passion. For the Blessed Pope Alexander, fifth after Blessed Peter, says: “In the oblations of the sacraments which are offered to the Lord within the solemnities of Masses, only bread and ***wine mixed with water ***are to be offered in sacrifice. There should not be offered in the chalice of the Lord either wine only or water only but both mixed together, because both blood and water are said to have flowed from Christ’s side;” also because it is fitting to signify the effect of this sacrament, which is the union of the Christian people with Christ. For, water signifies the people according to those words of the Apocalypse: many waters, many peoples. And Pope Julius, second after Blessed Silvester, said: “The chalice of the Lord, by a precept of the Canons, should be offered mixed of wine and water, because we see that the people is understood in the water and the Blood of Christ is manifested in the wine;” hence when wine and water are mingled in the chalice, the people are made one with Christ and the mass of the faithful are linked and joined together with Him in Whom they believe. Since, therefore, both the Holy Roman Church taught by the Most Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and the other Churches of Latins and Greeks, in which the lights of all sanctity and doctrine have shone brightly, have behaved in this way from the very beginning of the growing Church and still do so, it seems very unfitting that any other region should differ from this universal and reasonable observance. We decree, therefore, that the Armenians should conform themselves with the whole Christian world and that their priests shall mix a little water with the wine in the oblation of the chalice, as has been said.

Council of Trent, Session 22 DOCTRINE

CHAPTER VII.

On the water that is to be mixed with the wine to be offered in the chalice.

The holy Synod notices, in the next place, that it has been enjoined by the Church on priests, to mix water with the wine that is to be offered in the chalice; as well because it is believed that Christ the Lord did this, as also because from His side there came out blood and water; the memory of which mystery is renewed by this commixture; and, whereas in the apocalypse of blessed John, the peoples are called waters, the union of that faithful people with Christ their head is hereby represented.

…

CANON IX.–If any one saith, that the rite of the Roman Church, according to which a part of the canon and the words of consecration are pronounced in a low tone, is to be condemned; or, that the mass ought to be celebrated in the vulgar tongue only; or, that water ought not to be mixed with the wine that is to be offered in the chalice, for that it is contrary to the institution of Christ; let him be anathema.

I ended up just using the first reference from Joannm, just cuz I needed one. Thanks, everyone by the way. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me how many references there are!

But do you see the article in my signature? It’s on John 19:34.
