Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground. Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. From the sole of the foot to the head there is no sound spot: Wound and welt and gaping gash, not drained, or bandaged, or eased with salve. -The 1st Sorrowful Mystery

Is this still Holy Water?

Is this still Holy Water?
Question from Joe G on 4/29/2008:

This past Holy Saturday, the baptismal waters were laced/infused/fortified with chrism from the Chrism Mass earlier in the week. The water thus blessed is distributed as holy water. Can I still use this as a sacramental? It is fragrant and reminds me of the Easter Vigil Mass every time I open the bottle.

Yes, it is a sacramental, one of the Church's most powerful.
