"I
thirst."
Later, God
would say: "Write
these words down, for they are trustworthy and true.” He said to me,
"They are accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end. To the thirsty I will give a gift from the spring of
life-giving water.” ~ Revelation 21
He thirsts for our life and
healing, our prayer and love.

Holy Water

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
Blessed are thou among
women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus crucified.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Prayer When Using
Holy Water
By this holy water and by Your
Precious Blood, wash away all my sins, O Lord.
St. Theresa of Avila on holy water:
"From long experience I have learned that 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 value."
Holy water is a means of spiritual
wealth -- a sacramental that remits venial sin. The Church
strongly urges its use, especially when dangers threaten. The
devil hates holy water because of its power over him. He cannot
long abide in a place or near a person that is often sprinkled
with this blessed water.
