Holy Water
Lucy has a theory. She thinks that all we need to do to make the world a better place starts with a little Holy Water. You take some of this “magical” stuff in a cup, and go find a bad person. You have two weeks to do this, as she assured us this evening that the water stays good for two weeks. When you find the bad person, you have them drink the Holy Water. Then they won’t want to be bad any more.
I want to live in her world.
She’s close to right! On the first day of my parish missions I have folks process to the baptismal font (or a bowl of blessed water) to intentionally make the sign of the cross and recall their baptism. Maybe I should offer paper cups to assist the process!
