So in a strange turn of events, the subject of Holy Water came up IRL recently and it got me thinking. I'm a few million miles away from my Catholic upbringing, and never really learned about Protestant practices. So questions, I guess, for my erudite frens:
Is Holy Water a Catholic only thing? If so, how do I obtain it from a truly Godly source? I know the local Catholic church I have passing familiarity with is... Questionable in it's Heart. And I have a feeling buying it from Lourdes is tantamount to blasphemy.
Any advice would be helpful; this idea just popped into my timeline and I feel compelled to pursue it. 100% serious and sincere.
P.s. Think Mirror? Vampires. Etc.
Thanks in advance, yours in Christ.
Based on this concept… I would suggest taking purified water, and putting it in a Location without any other influences, no TV etc. Take a phone or some other device, and download the Bible app. The Bible app will play a specific book of the Bible audibly for you. I would suggest psalms or Proverbs. allow the device to speak the audible word of God, for as long as you think necessary. One hour, two hours, etc. if the water is to take on the positivity, and the power of God‘s word, just like it would with any other persons words, or outer experiences, then I think you would have something close to what you would describe as holy water.
Personally, as a Christian, you have the power of the Holy Spirit living in you. You shouldn’t need water, for you to tap into your own power that God gives you through his word. However, I don’t see there being any negative outcome of doing the above method to instill into that water the word of God. What have you got to lose? Once you’re done doing that though, I would suggest keeping it somewhere safe and away from other influences that could otherwise change the water.
If you decide to do this, I would love to hear back and see what you think, and if you found any positive impacts from trying this. God bless you and have a great day.
It works a lot better if you purify yourself, this is not something that can be done in a few hours though, there are rituals associated with spiritual purification which must be followed.

Oh yeah that’s a very good point too. Thanks for pointing that out and remembering that. I’m sure if I was going to do it myself I would’ve thought it all through, but that’s very smart of you.
Thanks to all these comments. Got very busy, lost the thread in tabs. Reading a d processing it all as I can.
