  • Holy water & salt is one of those things we Catholics get very accustomed to - at the danger of taking them for granted. Fr Columba drills into the power and use of holy water & salt - how they can change lives drastically and how they can deepen our faith in a more ordinary, everyday way.

    I'd like to share a story about holy water.. Someone might find it interesting or helpful.
    Very briefly, about 17 yrs ago I was visiting my parents home in a part of rural Ireland. Went for a walk and when I came home and stepped into the back kitchen there was a strong smell of excrement..initially I thought I had stepped in dog dropping on my walk..
    The sewage pipes/ toilets were at the opposite end of the house so it was nothing to do with them..
    My mother stepped into the kitchen at this time and groaned "oh, it's back again" she told me the smell had been coming and going in this room for a few weeks.
    So, I sprinkled holy water, we prayed a rosary together and I commanded in Jesus name, anything not of God to go and never return.
    Smell never came back..
    God bless you all.

      Thank you for sharing that experience. Something very similar has been happening to us for a few months.
      We began noticing a smell of death/decay in our laundry room early this year. We searched everywhere & found nothing to explain it. It only happens in that room. We completely cleaned it after replacing our appliances 2 months ago. This room's in the back of our house & connected to a garage. Again, nothing outside either. Everything is *physically* clean and new. Yet that smell still randomly comes and goes.
      We've sensed some preternatural activity in and around the property & adjacent woods for several years. My husband saw something unnatural leap down at him from our neighbor's trees a few nights ago. Those trees are near our laundry room window. So, it's making more sense now.
      We'll take your advice. Please pray for us.

      Good morning.
      I will certainly pray for you. I remember the smell in my parents kitchen very well. It was dreadful but thank God never returned after the use of Holy Water. Invoking Mary's presence also through the rosary seems to have been very effective also. God bless you and remember the Lords in control, "no weapon formed against us can prosper" in Jesus's name. Take care.

      I've never thought of Blessing all sorts of things with Holy Water, how great that all is Father,,,When my priest visited me one time, l asked him to bless my house, he said he didn't have any Holy Water, l suggested the plastic statue of Our Lady filled with water from the Grotto from Lourdes, he said that'll do and now my house is thus blessed. Just to mention, that statue has been sitting on my shelf in the sitting room and in the light for about 10 years and it being clear plastic, the water is still very clear, if it was just ordinary water, it eould have gone green by now,,,

    St Theresa spoke about the power of holy water in her biography. She said that one time when she was praying in the chapel, the devil himself appeared to her in hideous form. She was terrified and the devil spoke to her saying that she had, for now, escaped his clutches but he told her that he would get her again. So st theresa made the sign of the cross and the devil disappeared. But a few minutes later he re-appeared but this time she grabbed some holy water and threw it at him. He instantly disappeared and did not come back. St theresa said that from this encounter she gained the knowledge that holy water was extremely powerful.

    I picked up my older son to spend his birthday with him. He has a drug addiction, so I was concerned about our weekend together. I went to Mass in the morning before we headed out for our mini vacation. I poured water out of my water bottle and filled it with Holy water. In the car, I asked my younger son sitting in the front seat if he would like some Holy water. So he blessed himself with it. My older son, didn’t hear what I said because when I gave him the Holy water he took a drink. Ok, I thought, maybe he needed that. When we got to my mother’s home, he quickly went to the bathroom and vomited. He was so well behaved the whole time we were together. I attribute it to him drinking the Holy water. Powerful stuff.

      May God help everyone suffering with addiction, and those who love them, and those they would likely be of service to if they weren’t serving a substance instead. Think of how much need could be filled if everyone worked as hard to do God’s will as addicts work to stay on their addiction. That’s what I’m reminding myself as I try to banish vaping from my own life. It costs something precious to pursue an addiction. I pray for your son.

      My grandma passed three years ago. My father finally asked me to start cleaning out her house. I found holy water in a water bottle labeled by her under her leaking bathroom sink, from Fatima. It was 30 years old! Smelled like the freshest water on the planet. I didn’t touch it or use it, yes I wanted to. It felt like a treasure of sacredness that I can not explain. My dad still has it, I WANT IT SO BAD!!!! :)

      Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9-10 Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
      Romans 10:13
      For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

    I’m not a priest or in ministry and I bless normal water in the name of Jesus Christ & then I bless the entire house with it including every door and window. If there is a demonic presence or any negative energy then I bless & cast out at the same time. Sometimes I play worship music too. It works every time. Anyone can do it you just have to have faith & take authority in Jesus’s name. Sometimes forces come against you when you try to get a priest or minister involved causing you to delay or procrastinate. You can take action right now whilst you are in search of a priest. A priest still has authority because they are trained & knowledgable in ministry. But you can also practice ministry at home every day. I am not a practicing Christian but I pray every day, I speak faith, I affirm myself in the Lord, I also offer to pray for people. We are all anointed to minister in the spirit but it takes practice & learning. Just walk with Christ & He will guide you. I use to be terrified of the supernatural now I just cast it out. Bless 🙏🏽

    Holy Water is a blessed gift from the Holy Spirit. Yes, all water becomes pure when it is blessed. Years ago I was going through a gallon a week. The priest asked if I was drinking it? I said no, was just needing it to bless our house. It took a novena to St Padre Pio to remove all the evil and to finally understand what Jesus was teaching me. Let go and trust Jesus. And when ya fight evil, it's not you battling. It's Jesus and the Holy Spirit within you. You just pray, stand your ground and use the Holy Water like there's no tomorrow.

I came back in and then told my husband.. later when he went to check on her she was standing in the stall.. the next time he saw our vet and he told him the story he was in awe.. when my children started driving I would sprinkle holy water on their cars before they would leave.. thank you Father

    I just found your UA-cam channel. I've only recently come back to religion and god. The one thing I remember from mass as a child was that the priest always mumbled and muttered the cermon. We were told we were getting a new priest and he was awesome. When his turn was up the previous priest came back. My turning away from religion was nothing to do with him, but I was thinking that no young children in this day and age, would be able to sit and listen without falling asleep or getting distracted. I love how upbeat you are. I don't expect people to be entertainment, essentially about religion, but at least try to be present in the service. These little short videos are brilliant..I just got my first bottle of holy water that I have ever had. My sister picked it up for me from Medjagoure. Im delighted I found your channel and look forward to seeing future videos.

Saint Patrick prayed a blessing over it when he was fighting the last giant snake in Ireland (casting put devils basically) and invoked Christ's Baptism and Blood. This I heard from a priest on Lough Derg 36 years ago, it's one reason water from Lough Derg is still so powerful. I'll pray for you Father when I get there this year! God bless.

In Las Vegas our priests and Monsignor always sat in the garden area after Mass and blessed everything for us. In the eastern US it is a barren wasteland.

    Our rent house we live in now used to be where drugs were sold, on a street with other trap houses. We were Protestant when we moved in, and had it blessed by our pastor. I discerned later that year the Holy Spirit wanted us to join our local parish. Went to Christmas Eve Mass, just to see how it felt. Beautiful experience, but the next day, i came down with Covid. Worked in retail all through the pandemic and lockdown, didn't catch it once. Other weird things happened in '21 before we even got to start RCIA in the fall, things that i figured shouldn't still be happening. Neither of us abuse drugs/alcohol, practice witchcraft, etc., so it wasn't like we had opened a door to those things.
    Had the place blessed by our parish's assisting priest. Nothing like that has happened since, but i still have the Holy Water he gave me that day. I also put a few grains of exorcised salt in my coffee.

    I'm not Catholic and so when I was bothered by a negative energy, I turned to the Catholic faith by listening to the daily Bible readings as well as putting my Bible on my nightstand. The entity would sigh just before I would wake from a nap. I thought I would listen to a book on tape so I couldn't hear the sighs. Instead my book on tape would static just before waking. Twice when I listened to the Bible reading, I fell asleep and was startled by a sound of a magazine dropping to the floor. Another time when drifting off when listening, I woke to a sound of someone running their thumb along a comb. I live alone. I tried to ignore it because I read on the internet that non believers aren't bothered by spirits, but it made no difference. When I would sit and watch tv, i felt the hair on my head tickle like someone was playing with my hair. I used regular sea salt throughout my house and it went away for a couple of days, but it came back. It realized that I had siked it. I bought some white sage and smudged my house with all the doors and windows open and demanded it to leave. It did. I had demanded in the name of Jesus Christ when it 1st began, but that didn't impress it. The one that visited me 6 months earlier did respond to that. At one time, it had touched my leg and the next night growled--but not sinisterly, and that's what made me go get the white sage. The woman who owned that shop told me college students purchase that to cleanse their dorm rooms. When you buy something used, either smudge the item or sprinkle it with holy water before bringing into your home. The point of all of this is to tell you that this all made me closer to God and now I include him in my life everyday. He does exist. Why do I get these experiences? I read that two things have probably contributed to it...1) as a kid, my sisters and a friend or two played with a Ouija board which could open up that channel, and 2) I lived with my grandparents in an old farmhouse that housed a poltergeist who caused a lot of trouble. My grandpa did rid of it by demanding it leave in the name of Jesus Christ.

    Are you part of the Grey/ gray Fathers? We had two come to our parish when I was in high school. They were based near New York City's skid row. Very unsafe. They were very interesting to talk with.
    Despite being a cradle Catholic, I like learning about other religions, particularly Judaism, since Jesus was Jewish.
    I like to pray the Kedushah and Sh'ma as well as the Catholic prayers I grew up with. I have family who are Baptist and must confess, I envy their ability to pray extemporaneously.
    The Kedushah is a very powerful prayer, as well as the Hail Mary, Our Father, the short Miraculous Medal intercessional prayer. I like saying the Our Father In Hebrew too sometimes. And of course say my rosary. I firmly believed praying the rosary before several University exams helped me pass them as they were very difficult subjects for me.
    My grandmother always had holy water around her house... but she was a very dark person. I'd hate to think how mean she would have been without it around.
