Holy Water

Holy Water is a Church Sacramental recommended as a means of protection against evil.  Catholics in particular use it to bless themselves when entering a church.  Among Eastern Orthodox Christians, Holy Water is used frequently in rites of blessing and exorcism, and the water for baptism is always sanctified with a special blessing.  The idea of water being made holy originates from Christ Himself who, through His baptism sanctified the water of the world.

In times of our own spiritual suffering it is important to avail ourselves of the material means of the Church.  Holy Water is ultimately used to bring healing and peace to our lives through faith. 

Holy Water Miracle
