Season 5 Episode 25 - Why do we dip our hands in Holy Water

Today we answer the question, why do we dip our hands in Holy Water. Every time we dip our hands in holy water at church, we are reminded of our baptism—the moment we were cleansed of original sin and welcomed into a new life in Christ. This sacred tradition isn’t just a routine gesture; it’s a renewal of our baptismal promises and a call to holiness. Holy water is also a powerful sign of God’s protection, shielding us from evil—much like kryptonite weakens Superman, holy water weakens the devil. By making the sign of the cross with holy water, we recommit ourselves to living as God’s children, seeking His grace and strength in our daily lives. Join Fr. Rico as we unpack the deep meaning behind this simple yet profound act of faith.
