Holy Water Fonts for Homes

I picked up a nice little cherub font for my entryway today. Does anyone here use these for their homes? I had fun making a vessel for the holy water, so I'm thinking about making my own font, too - something bigger than the one I just bought (it doesn't hold much water, more...

One of the most beautiful home blessings is the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Basically you and the members of your household make a covenant to Him, acknowledging that He will always be the true Head of your home.
While we're on the subject of Holy water, it should be changed at least every other week. If you have access to the sacrarium at your Church, it should be disposed of there. If not, it may be returned to the Earth in a specific spot designated for this purpose.
But I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know.


Woooh! I never knew this back to the earth? Why? If it's ld then why would it matter?I have a font but it is always empty from the heat,it is on my door frame in my bedroom.

Holy water will get rancid if it isn't replaced every other week or so. You living out on the East Coast would probably have issues with mosquito larvae and such after a while. We had a priest who added a small amount of salt as a preservative. And it should be returned back to the Earth in a spot that will not be trampled underfoot. Being a Sacramental, it is not to be poured down the sink or flushed down the terlet with the other common elements.

No you don't. Your just saying that because you don't know much and you have to put on a show like so many other fundies do. Your idiocy forces you to pretend and then claim that you actually know. You remind me of an old heresy called Gnosticism. Like faker Bakker, your just hollow and false.
