"{...} there is nothing like holy water to put devils to flight and prevent them from coming back again. They also flee from the Cross, but return; so holy water must have great virtue. “ St. Teresa of Avila

Amen. Amen.”

The Church urges the frequent use of holy water in times of danger such as storms, fires, sickness, and when there is any type of conflict in the home or community.

It is very important to carry holy water always with us to be prepared for different challenging situations.
