Blessed by 2 Priests and 1 Cardinal from the Archdiocese of Chicago\/Roman Catholic Church. This holy water contains water obtained from Lourdes France as well as triple blessed holy salt. It\u2019s 100% pure and safe for any and all uses. Even the 100% Aluminum bottle is triple blessed! Every bottle has a locking spray top which allows you to quickly spray a fine mist and then lock it so it doesn\u2019t spray\/leak into your purse or backpack. Everything was thought out with the utmost care to make sure that this holy water will get you through the toughest of times all the while vanquishing evil in any form! It\u2019s great for getting rid of those pesky monsters under my kid\u2019s bed and in the closet! I just spray it when I hear my daughter yell, then she tells me where the monster is, then I spray it away! Never had one even get close to her yet! Shipping is FREE!<\/p><p>NOTE: A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS HOLY WATER GOES TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH (ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO\/CATHOLIC CHARITIES). THEY REALLY NEED OUR HELP IN THIS TIME OF NEED! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The write-up for this is somewhat humorous as also is the packaging. As a gag gift, I would have no problem with it and the theology of it is meant to be over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the selling of supposedly blessed items and sacramentals, as far as I know, doesn\u2019t contravene Church law such as in the case of selling relics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My caveat would be the \u201cNOTE:\u201d which I would suspect that what it implies is fraudulent. This seller also sells a liquid that makes pregnancy tests pop positive as a joke. <br><br>Update: The seller is not joking about providing a contribution to the Church based on sales.  I asked him about this and he seems quite serious about this and I accept that. Nice to be wrong about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I happened to come across this item at Etsy Father Farley\u2019s Triple Blessed Holy Water is the ultimate Holy Water you can obtain!
