HOLY WATER
Question from on 08-10-2007:
FATHER LEVIS,
HELLO, I WATCH YOUR "WEB OF FAITH" WITH FATHER TRIGILIO AND IT IS A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. I HAVE A QUESTION. ARE RELIGIOUS ARTICLES BLESSED BY JUST PUTTING HOLY WATER ON THEM THAT WAS OBTAINED FROM OUR CATHOLIC CHURCH? I USUALLY HAVE SEVERAL BLESSED AT ONE TIME IF I AM AT A RETREAT OR VISITING HOLY GROUNDS. HOWEVER, IT IS HARD TO RUN TO OUR PRIEST TO BLESS A PICTURE, ROSARIES, ETC. - EVERYTIME I PURCHASE SOMETHING. I WAS TOLD THAT JUST APPLYING HOLY WATER TO THEM WILL BE FINE. IF SO, ARE GRACES APPLIED THE SAME AS IF WHEN A PRIEST DOES THE BLESSING? THANK YOU!

S. Pitts, No, holy water is good but it is not equal in value to the blessing of an ordained priest. Fr.Bob Levis
