How to Make Holy Water

You might not make authentic holy water as a result, depending on your level of religious conviction.

By using the traditional Catholic rites and prayers, you may attempt to make your own holy water. Making holy water may also be done in several pagan rites.

1. Using Catholic Prayers and Rituals to Bless Water

First, you must produce holy salt before you can produce holy water. Dedicate your salt. Consecrate the salt (i.e., make it sacred or holy)

Add some pure salt to a container, like a little bowl or jar (such as Kosher salt or natural rock salt with no additives). When you’re prepared to bless the salt, recite these verses from The Roman Ritual.

In the name of the Lord, who created heaven and earth, we ask for help. O salt, creation of God, I exorcise you in the name of the living God, the real God.

The holy God, the God who commanded Eliseo the Prophet to pour you into the water in order to restore its life-giving qualities.

I exorcise you so that you can be a means of salvation for believers, that you can bring health to everyone who uses you, that you can put to flight and drive away every apparition, villainy, turn of devilish deception.

And every unclean spirit that has been summoned by Him Who will come to judge the living and the dead and the world by fire. Amen.

▸If there will be witnesses present when you consecrate the salt, invite them to join you in prayer:

Almighty and eternal God, we humbly beseech Thee, in Thy immeasurable kindness and love, to bless and sanctify this salt that Thou dist create and give over to humanity’s use.

So that it may become a source of health for the minds and bodies of all who use it, rid whatever it touches or sprinkles of all uncleanness.

Guard it against every attack of evil spirits. Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who dwells and reigns with Thee in the union of The Holy Spirit, God, for all eternity. Amen.

▸The Roman Ritual (also known as Rituale Romanum) is available as a book from a Catholic bookstore or online.

2. Get Some Water from A Natural Source

Get your water from a lake, stream, or river close by if you can. Avoid drinking tap water as much as possible because it can include fluoride and chlorine chemicals.

If your water was naturally collected, filter it beforehand though, you don’t want contaminated holy water!

Put the water in a visible container, such a large bowl.

If a natural supply is not accessible, you can instead use bottled or tap water. Spring water or commercially available distilled water are also suitable options.

Note: It’s crucial to make sure the holy water is clean and well-filtered if you intend to drink it, put it on your lips, or sprinkle it on yourself. If you ingest dirty holy water, you might become ill.

3. Exorcise the Water

You will also need to perform an exorcism over the water before adding the salt to it. Read the following passage from The Roman Ritual.

In the name of God the Father Almighty, God the Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, and in the authority of the Holy Spirit, I exorcise you, O water, the creature of God.

I exorcise you so that, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will return to judge the living and the dead and the entire world by fire, you may drive to flight all the strength of the enemy and be able to root out and displace the enemy with his apostate angels. Amen.

▸The following prayer should be recited if you’re performing the exorcism in front of witnesses:

O God, Who built Thy greatest mysteries on this substance, water, for the salvation of mankind, in Thy kindness hear our prayers and pour down the power of Thy blessing into this element, made ready for many kinds of purifications.

So that everything in the houses and other structures of the faithful that are sprinkled with this water may be purified from all uncleanness and from damage, may this, Thy creature, become an instrument of divine favor in the service of Thy mysteries, to drive away evil spirits and dispel disease.

No air-carrying illness should be allowed to stay in these areas. May the sneaky enemy’s tricks come to nothing.

By scattering this water around, let anything that could be a threat to the residents’ safety and tranquility be driven from the area.

In this way, the health that results from calling on Thy holy name will be protected from harm.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who with Thee and the Holy Spirit, God, abides and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

4. Lay a Cross-Shaped Pattern of Salt into the Water

The final step is to blend the salt and the water after exorcizing them both. When adding the salt, pour it into the water in the shape of a cross. Say the following as you pour the salt in:

“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I pray that this salt and water be combined. “

▸Then, if you are completing the rite in front of witnesses, say, “The Lord be with you.” They’ll reply, “May He also be with you.”

You can ask anyone in attendance to join you in this prayer:

God, source of irresistible might and king of an invincible realm, the ever-glorious conqueror; who restrains the force of the adversary, silencing the uproar of his rage, and valiantly subduing his wickedness; in awe and humility.

We beg you, Lord, to regard with favor this creature thing of salt and water, to let the light of your kindness shine upon it, and to sanctify it with your mercy’s dew.

So that everywhere it is sprinkled and your holy name is proclaimed, every attack from the unclean spirit may be thwarted and every fear of the serpent’s poison might be banished.

Through Christ our Lord, who intercedes for us, let the Holy Spirit go before us and be with us everywhere we go.

5. Bless the Holy Water 

The Novus Ordo Book of Blessings contains the following prayer, which you can use to bless your holy water after you’ve made it:

“Blessed are you, Lord, Almighty God, who deigned to bless us in Christ, the living water of our salvation, and to reform us interiorly, grant that we who are fortified by the sprinkling of or use of this water, the youth of the spirit being renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit, may walk always in newest of life.

After preparing the holy water, put it in the container of your choice. Such as a little glass vial or plastic spray bottle.

You may bless your home’s various rooms by scattering it across them, or you can use it to bless yourself or a family member before going to bed.

Ask a priest in your church for some holy water if you don’t feel comfortable using some that you blessed yourself.

In certain churches, you can fill a jar with holy water to take home from the church.
