- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018I have forgotten a lot about the power of holy water. This is a great read to remind Catholics why it is used and the reasons why. Non-Catholics will understand why we bless ourselves upon entering and leaving church plus so much more. This book refreshed my memory, and I will forever carry out the blessings for myself, the sick, my children, the dying, against evil and so much more!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020This book hasn't lost any of its significance since it was first published in 1909. Drawing on Scripture, the testimony of the Fathers and the beautiful prayer of the blessing of the water, the author explains what a powerful sacramental Holy Water is, its use and function in the Church and why every Catholic household should have a supply of Holy Water at home. The book serves as a clear reminder that the blessing of oneself with Holy Water is far more than a symbolic or superstitious action.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020This book is a concise informative book on Holy Water ,its value and purpose. It has made me more mindful of its efficacy when I use it. I will use it to more often in my home and for my family.Worthwhile!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2016This is a short read, but well worth it! It explains the history of Holy Water and how it is used. I particularly enjoyed the last section about how individuals can use it. It is a must read for any Catholic, especially those entering the Church or wanting to know why Catholics use Holy Water.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021Packaged nicely. I want to read this since i want to learn about the history if holy water.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018A short, rich read that reminds and educates. I found reassurance that my blessings on my family, pets, cars, and home are not merely sentimental.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017I was hoping for a more in-depth exploration of Holy Water, so was a bit let down to discover I had picked up most of the wisdom contained in this book through a lifetime in Catholicism. Nevertheless, it would be a useful introduction to someone approaching the concept for the first time, as the text is approachable and easy to understand.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2017What a wonderful little guide explaining the history and use of holy water as a sacramental! The author references Scripture, and quotes the prayers used by our beloved priests in blessing the salt and water.
Lovely prayers to use as you cross yourself with Holy Water.

This is a fair short and easy read, but it covers the meaning and history of Holy Water very nicely, and gives ways to live it more fully in one's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book
This book is excellent and very informative. Every Catholic should read it. It is so comforting to know that we have a sacramental that is so
powerful.
