Miraculous Stories about Holy Water & Salt | LITTLE BY LITTLE | Fr Columba Jordan CFR 

I'd like to share a story about holy water.. Someone might find it interesting or helpful. Very briefly, about 17 yrs ago I was visiting my parents home in a part of rural Ireland. Went for a walk and when I came home and stepped into the back kitchen there was a strong smell of excrement..initially I thought I had stepped in dog dropping on my walk.. The sewage pipes/ toilets were at the opposite end of the house so it was nothing to do with them.. My mother stepped into the kitchen at this time and groaned "oh, it's back again" she told me the smell had been coming and going in this room for a few weeks. So, I sprinkled holy water, we prayed a rosary together and I commanded in Jesus name, anything not of God to go and never return. Smell never came back.. God bless you all.

We had our Priest do an exorcism on our home before- long story , apparently satanists lived there before us. And I promise you the demonic is real. Father used blessed salt too. He gave me the leftover salt. And immediately the energy changed and the apparations and craziness stopped. Praise Jesus ❤🙏

I picked up my older son to spend his birthday with him. He has a drug addiction, so I was concerned about our weekend together. I went to Mass in the morning before we headed out for our mini vacation. I poured water out of my water bottle and filled it with Holy water. In the car, I asked my younger son sitting in the front seat if he would like some Holy water. So he blessed himself with it. My older son, didn’t hear what I said because when I gave him the Holy water he took a drink. Ok, I thought, maybe he needed that. When we got to my mother’s home, he quickly went to the bathroom and vomited. He was so well behaved the whole time we were together. I attribute it to him drinking the Holy water. Powerful stuff.

My 3 year old grandson visits my home and goes to the holy water bottles...goes around to each person, including his 10mo. old brother, and blesses us all with the water. What a gift...children KNOW!!

Heard a story of a house that was haunted. The priests tried many prayers etc, but nothing seemed to work. Then someone said that the most powerful prayer is the Mass. They did a Mass in the house and that was the end of the problem.

St Theresa spoke about the power of holy water in her biography. She said that one time when she was praying in the chapel, the devil himself appeared to her in hideous form. She was terrified and the devil spoke to her saying that she had, for now, escaped his clutches but he told her that he would get her again. So st theresa made the sign of the cross and the devil disappeared. But a few minutes later he re-appeared but this time she grabbed some holy water and threw it at him. He instantly disappeared and did not come back. St theresa said that from this encounter she gained the knowledge that holy water was extremely powerful.

I travel almost every week. I have a bottle of Holy Water and a Crucifix that always travel with me. The first thing I do when I go to a hotel room is sprinkle Holy Water. My mum, who died in 1981 would always remind us to not only make the sign of the Cross on our forehead but to also write ‘Jesus’ on our forehead with holy water, so there is no question who you belong to. 40+ years later and I’m still doing it.

I have holy water in every room in my house and blessed salt, exorcised. I bless my car with holy water every time I get in it to go anywhere. I routinely holy water the outside of my house and inside my garage and my property. We live in an evil world.

My testimony with Holy Water is being healed, I was bleeding from an infection in my armpit. With the months I had the infection and how painful it was for me, it was truely a miracle ❤

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

My parish priest gave me a bottle of holy water last year. Earlier this year I developed a very sore, swollen eye infection. A retired doctor suggested I go to the chemist to get some cream. Instead I prayed and poured the water on my eye. I did this twice a day. After three days the eye had healed. I truly believe in the healing power of holy water.

One thing I noticed about holy water recently that I’d never noticed before… it doesn’t go stale… you know like how when you open a bottle of water & leave it out… if you open it after a few days… it smells stale… but my holy water I’ve had over 2 years… still smells fresh… I look at that as my daily miracle.

Thank you for this Fr Columba, I’m Greek Orthodox. God Bless You Always ☦️ Holy water saves because it brings in The Kingdom Of God ☦️💟

Your stories are the best! At the height of COVID, when we couldn't attent mass, our church had small water bottles of holy water set out on tables in the church for people to pick up when they could. I brought one home and purchased a few smaller containers and a vial on a keychain to keep in my purse. I bless myself with it every night before night prayer. I'm glad there isn't an expiration date because I still have it from years ago!

Fr. Columba more timely than Big Ben! Just picked up a holy water font last week 😃Thank you, Father. Often asking how can we get closer to God, and you always show up with inspiration. Praying for you daily, along with all the wonderful men who answered the call to priesthood. 🙏

Fr. Columba, thank you for your teachings. Though I attend an Episcopal church with my wife. You help me stay connected to the church I was raised in. I have been blessed to be a Catholic since the day I was born. Named by a Nun, and baptized in the hospital as a pre-mature baby. Thank you and everyone who helps put these videos together. They truly help me.

I don't leave home with out my Holy Water.

I’m not a priest or in ministry and I bless normal water in the name of Jesus Christ & then I bless the entire house with it including every door and window. If there is a demonic presence or any negative energy then I bless & cast out at the same time. Sometimes I play worship music too. It works every time. Anyone can do it you just have to have faith & take authority in Jesus’s name. Sometimes forces come against you when you try to get a priest or minister involved causing you to delay or procrastinate. You can take action right now whilst you are in search of a priest. A priest still has authority because they are trained & knowledgable in ministry. But you can also practice ministry at home every day. I am not a practicing Christian but I pray every day, I speak faith, I affirm myself in the Lord, I also offer to pray for people. We are all anointed to minister in the spirit but it takes practice & learning. Just walk with Christ & He will guide you. I use to be terrified of the supernatural now I just cast it out. Bless 🙏🏽

this is a very funny priest. you got to love a priest with a sense of humor. I wish I had one at my church.

Holy Water is a blessed gift from the Holy Spirit. Yes, all water becomes pure when it is blessed. Years ago I was going through a gallon a week. The priest asked if I was drinking it? I said no, was just needing it to bless our house. It took a novena to St Padre Pio to remove all the evil and to finally understand what Jesus was teaching me. Let go and trust Jesus. And when ya fight evil, it's not you battling. It's Jesus and the Holy Spirit within you. You just pray, stand your ground and use the Holy Water like there's no tomorrow. Thank you Jesus for loving us, even though we are unworthy of your Great Love🙏👼👑💒

This was an amazing talk, Father! Thank you.

For anyone who's interested in more information on this topic, there is an excellent book by Fr. Henry Theiler called "Holy Water and Its Significance for Catholics."

Yes St Columba just had a Feast Day not long ago... Thank you Fr Columba, I always enjoy and appreciate your teaching. 🙏💙🙏

After living in our home for 10 years, and ecperiencing some very weird things, we finally got our home thoroughly blessed by an FSSP priest (holy water, incense, salt, the whole magilla) and everything weird just stopped as of that day. And the energy in the house definitely changed.....

It just occurred to me, Father, that when someone sneezes and you say "God bless you!," they really are getting an actual blessing. That's so nice.

I used to appreciate when the priest blessed anything you'd put at the altar. Some time ago, I think it was in the 90s, when priests stopped doing it. I missed that. I always treasured it. Idk why they don't do it any longer at some churches. I haven't been to church in ten years as I am homebound. I'm on oxygen 24/7.

May holy water heal our bodies and minds. Faithfully hope our energies shall be healed.

This is so coincidental that this video should come up just when my sister and I were talking about it a few hours back. I’ve had several electrical appliances breaking down one after another at home and she suggested I sprinkle the house and all surrounding areas with Holy water which I planned to do tomorrow morning…….and then this video showed up. God is always on time, all the time!!!!!!!

Last year we had our new home blessed by our parish priest and a nun. Father read from formal prayers. Sister also brought the blessed host. It was such an emotional beautiful ceremony. Every nook and cranny of the house and all corners of our property were blessed. We have two fonts in the house which we keep full. Holy Water 💦 is so powerful.

Thanks farther, i really enjoy your talks

Thank you Fr. for your funny, yet truthful preaching. Might you talk a bit about how ALL Catholics, even women, are anointed as common priests, (prophets and kings) at baptism. I think this is especially important for young girls and women to hear. So many are going to witchcraft. They don't know the power they already have, through Jesus, given them at Baptism.

I never realised that holy water was that powerful 😮 Thank you 🙏

I have Holy Water from The River Jordan and Blessed Salt - Once a month I clean the entire House top to bottom for 3 days I then use the Holy Water and Blessed Salt in every room saying prayers. It is so immediate in the clearing of the environment to very warm serene and cozy. Sometimes, I’ll burn Frankincense from the basement up to the top floor or I’ll burn blessed candles in each room of our Home. I’ll use the Blessed Salt at entries and windows as well as all corners of the room and/or closet. I’ll use the Holy Water at all doorways and windows with the Sign of The Cross. If you have the opportunity to try any of these, you will feel the difference. The light of the room changes, it is amazing. 🙏 I’m no one special - I’m just confident and secure in my Faith. 🙏

Did you know the story of how Lough Derg got its name? Saint Patrick prayed a blessing over it when he was fighting the last giant snake in Ireland (casting put devils basically) and invoked Christ's Baptism and Blood. This I heard from a priest on Lough Derg 36 years ago, it's one reason water from Lough Derg is still so powerful. I'll pray for you Father when I get there this year! God bless. (Mary in Columbas' Country.)

I just found your RU-vid channel. I've only recently come back to religion and god. The one thing I remember from mass as a child was that the priest always mumbled and muttered the cermon. We were told we were getting a new priest and he was awesome. When his turn was up the previous priest came back. My turning away from religion was nothing to do with him, but I was thinking that no young children in this day and age, would be able to sit and listen without falling asleep or getting distracted. I love how upbeat you are. I don't expect people to be entertainment, essentially about religion, but at least try to be present in the service. These little short videos are brilliant..I just got my first bottle of holy water that I have ever had. My sister picked it up for me from Medjagoure. Im delighted I found your channel and look forward to seeing future videos.

Fr Columba I carry holy water and Blessed Salt with me all the time and shake on Graves and pray 🙏 for the holy souls 🙏 in Purgatory

Praised Jesus and Mary! Dear brother. God bless you.😇😊

God loves us to be humble. To bless ourselves in his name using Holy water from his Church, it's a humble way of asking for his mercy. Blessing places and things is a humble way of asking God to protect and bless them and us in them.

Many of our churches no longer have a font at the door, which I find appalling. When we moved into our house five years ago - and every time we moved before that - I blessed every room with Holy water.

Lavoro in mare, comando uno yacht ed all'inizio della stagione lavorativa benedico la barca con l' acqua benedetta che mi porto da casa. Lavoro con serenità e fino ad ora non ho avuto incidenti. Sento la presenza di Dio nella mia vita anche attraverso questa benedizione. Grazie tante per i tuoi video. Raffaele - Italia

Thanks father Jordan really enjoyed that I'm going to try get some also due to not having confidence to to to Chapel I'm not going to confession so pray for Me please so I can get my Catholic life in a better shape Thank-you ❤. AMEN

I had never heard about the salt before. ALWAYS learning! Thanks I admit I was a bit worried because of other users of salt. The explanation was VERY helpful and a comfort

DO MORE OF THIS! CHRIST IS LORD!

We are dairy farmers... we had a down cow.. the vet said she had 3 hooves in the ground.. I didn't tell my husband.. I grabbed the holy water and sprinkled it over her.... I came back in and then told my husband.. later when he went to check on her she was standing in the stall.. the next time he saw our vet and he told him the story he was in awe.. when my children started driving I would sprinkle holy water on their cars before they would leave.. thank you Father

This video reminded me to refill my holy water font thats been empty for a month. Thank you, Father!

I love watching you . I live in an old buidling that used to be a Free Masons Meeting Hall for about 100 years. All kinds of things have gone wrong since we lived here... health...relationship.. bullying from strangers. I live too far away for any priest to come bless it - but I have Holy Water the last time I could see a priest.. so I use this .. and also S Benedicts medals around .. I will keep doing this..Thank you.

Please pray for relative with mental health affecting family .We wont give up Trust in you Jesus and the power of St Micheal.

Thank you Father Columba, I put holy water in a spray bottle in my home and spray the house at least once a week - each room and I say the Saint Michael prayer as I do it. You never know when friends or family bring the demons in with them .

Thank you- very interesting talk.

Thanks dude, watching from Kenya. I have bottles of Holy water. As a matter of fact, technology is getting disrupted as I'm writing this, had to reopen you tube. Keep making short clips like this so it can be viewed

God bless you, thank you for answering God's calling. Pray for me, ill pray for you.

I have a bottle of Epiphany Holy Water from my FSSP TLM Parish. True - it is still so fresh!

I try to use Exercised Salt & Exercised Holy Water Monthly in & Around My House & Property. I usually say this “ Bless this House O Lord we pray, please make it safe by night and day “ Amen 🙏🏻

I like the part where the Baptist learned the reality of Apostolic succession and sacramentals.

That was awesome Father. I've always loved using Holy Water, now I know why. 😎😁😇🙏❤️

I just started a Legion of Mary at my parish! ❤

Our rent house we live in now used to be where drugs were sold, on a street with other trap houses. We were Protestant when we moved in, and had it blessed by our pastor. I discerned later that year the Holy Spirit wanted us to join our local parish. Went to Christmas Eve Mass, just to see how it felt. Beautiful experience, but the next day, i came down with Covid. Worked in retail all through the pandemic and lockdown, didn't catch it once. Other weird things happened in '21 before we even got to start RCIA in the fall, things that i figured shouldn't still be happening. Neither of us abuse drugs/alcohol, practice witchcraft, etc., so it wasn't like we had opened a door to those things. Had the place blessed by our parish's assisting priest. Nothing like that has happened since, but i still have the Holy Water he gave me that day. I also put a few grains of exorcised salt in my coffee.

Hi Father, can you speak on the powerful Ephiphany chalk Blessing on the door mantle. I am prompted to share it is appropriate for these times 🌹 Blessed be GOD forever. Lyssa +

We had the Legion of Mary for adults and the children in Nevada, USA. But then eventually they discontinued it. My three young sons and I were members. Thank you for this helpful video. In Las Vegas our priests and Monsignor always sat in the garden area after Mass and blessed everything for us. In the eastern US it is a barren wasteland. I think the only way we can get water or anything blessed is to make an appointment and take off from our daily jobs. So sad.

Thanks very much for this Fr Columba.. - I feel the Holy Spirit led me to this video, as it appeared in my feed! I've just started blessing my neighbours and family verbally, and had put up a Celtic blessing prayer on the outside of my front door...now Jesus is encouraging me through you to use Holy Water as much as possible - so wonderful to have this as a Catholic! God Bless you!

Your words are wise and comforting with the added value of relatable humor 😊

I believe in the holy water because I experience God's presence in our home. It was when my child was sick I put a little holy water in the tarb to bath her and later I saw that she recovered from her sick. I praise God for his mercy and love upon our family.

When my grandkid were little and would come over to spend the night, I would make the sign of the cross with holy water on there foreheads so they wouldn’t be afraid, even as they got older they would still want me to it. ❤❤❤

Thank you Father 😊 Hope that person who blessed and went "flat" got help from a priest later. Demons go to ground until it's safe to pop up again. Aside from this I enjoy the blessings from Christ himself at Adoration at the end of Benediction. 😊

We have holy water at the door at home and be sure my kids never leave home without it as well as myself and my spouse.

Awesome as always Fr. Columba. Praise, Glory and Thanks be to GOD for Holy Priests like yourself, Nuns and all Religious Brothers and Sisters. GOD Bless you and us all.

Amen! Thank you father for this. I have a story to share. Back in India, 2002, my mom was complaining about the flies all over the house. I prayed with her and sprinkled holy water around the house. The flies disappeared. Now pretty much every day I sprinkle holy water after our family prayer every room in my house especially my children's room. When I do this, I always recite the Apostles' Creed.

Holy Water is a powerful Sacramental used to Baptize, bless, cleanse, heal, remit venial sin, grant graces, indulgences and drive demons away. So powerful, it’s used in exorcisms. When you make The Sign of The Cross with Holy Water, you acknowledge and seal that you belong to God. Everyone should keep a bottle and use it daily. Bless yourself, loved ones, home, car, work space, etc.

Thank so much, Fr. Columba, and God bless you🙏

Are you part of the Grey/ gray Fathers? We had two come to our parish when I was in high school. They were based near New York City's skid row. Very unsafe. They were very interesting to talk with. Despite being a cradle Catholic, I like learning about other religions, particularly Judaism, since Jesus was Jewish. I like to pray the Kedushah and Sh'ma as well as the Catholic prayers I grew up with. I have family who are Baptist and must confess, I envy their ability to pray extemporaneously. The Kedushah is a very powerful prayer, as well as the Hail Mary, Our Father, the short Miraculous Medal intercessional prayer. I like saying the Our Father In Hebrew too sometimes. And of course say my rosary. I firmly believed praying the rosary before several University exams helped me pass them as they were very difficult subjects for me. My grandmother always had holy water around her house... but she was a very dark person. I'd hate to think how mean she would have been without it around.

This was hugely helpful, Fr. Columba. Thank you.

So inspiring, Father. Thank you and God bless! ❤

Thank you Father, God bless you all 🙏 🕯 🌹 🕊 ❤️

Thank you, Fr Columba for your spiritual stories & Holy Water discourse(sacramental). Maintaining our spiritualty through our day with God in our consciousness. 🌟🌟🌟🌟✝✝

Ty. Father I love the fount idea by the door!!!!❤ I feel like it's not working on me 😢I still have all my pain and medical issues but someone told me I could have the demon of sickness .....which I have never heard of before so Interesting 🤔..God bless 🙏🔥🙏

Thank GOD for His Holy Mercies, Amen.

Thank you Fr. for all your little but powerful talks. We are blessed to have you.

I'm not Catholic and so when I was bothered by a negative energy, I turned to the Catholic faith by listening to the daily Bible readings as well as putting my Bible on my nightstand. The entity would sigh just before I would wake from a nap. I thought I would listen to a book on tape so I couldn't hear the sighs. Instead my book on tape would static just before waking. Twice when I listened to the Bible reading, I fell asleep and was startled by a sound of a magazine dropping to the floor. Another time when drifting off when listening, I woke to a sound of someone running their thumb along a comb. I live alone. I tried to ignore it because I read on the internet that non believers aren't bothered by spirits, but it made no difference. When I would sit and watch tv, i felt the hair on my head tickle like someone was playing with my hair. I used regular sea salt throughout my house and it went away for a couple of days, but it came back. It realized that I had siked it. I bought some white sage and smudged my house with all the doors and windows open and demanded it to leave. It did. I had demanded in the name of Jesus Christ when it 1st began, but that didn't impress it. The one that visited me 6 months earlier did respond to that. At one time, it had touched my leg and the next night growled--but not sinisterly, and that's what made me go get the white sage. The woman who owned that shop told me college students purchase that to cleanse their dorm rooms. When you buy something used, either smudge the item or sprinkle it with holy water before bringing into your home. The point of all of this is to tell you that this all made me closer to God and now I include him in my life everyday. He does exist. Why do I get these experiences? I read that two things have probably contributed to it...1) as a kid, my sisters and a friend or two played with a Ouija board which could open up that channel, and 2) I lived with my grandparents in an old farmhouse that housed a poltergeist who caused a lot of trouble. My grandpa did rid of it by demanding it leave in the name of Jesus Christ.

I have Holy water fonts at the doors. When my children were growing up, they blessed themselves before they left our home, as I did. They have left the church, and I pray each day, for Jesus to bring them back to the church, and our grandchildren too, during Rosary. I bless myself each morning, at 3, when I pray Divine Mercy. I own a large property, and I would love to add a few outdoor prayer shacks.

Love you brother u are the best

All sacrametals are powerful.The holy Rosary blessed salt.water,many have been healed thro them

In the person of Christ. Amen. Thank you, Father Columba, keep up the good work of leading His flock.

Gosh Father, I really - really enjoy your videos. So interesting (and I often get a good laugh). Thank you so much!

I do that too Father! I bring my Holy water and bless hotel rooms, my office etc!

Thank you Father, great reminder to us Catholics to use the weapons given to us. I use it daily especially before praying and going to sleep, I bless the corners of the rooms. I also add to our drinking and cooking water. Oil is another I use for cooking etc... We have large water bottles we get blessed and then use that to add to our daily cooking. When we start to run low we add more water. How many times do you think this is useful to do until we have to get more blessed?

Hi Fr Columba It’s Chris Bastow here. I randomly came across this a few minutes ago. Badly needed to hear it I hope your well.

Animals......when they act up...I sprinkle holy water on them. They calm down. Same with gregorian chants. They calm down👍🏻🙏🏻

I have the faith like that more towards Mary at the baths at Lourdes much more than priests. I have to go all the way there for help because it's her power and gentle healing power that I have the faith in.

When we moved into our house, things were happening, especially in the room of our younger son. One morning, for example, ceiling lamp in his room fell off and broke to pieces! We had priest bless our house and everything stopped.

Thank you Fr. I subscribed so I can listen to you more often. Yes, God is very generous!

Very touched by your story, Father. I am from Sydney and worked as a full-time volunteer at the Hostel for homeless women in Dublin, that belonged to the Legion of Mary. I will never forget my experience! I remember walking through the Red Light district one evening as I returned to the Hostel. I gave my rosary beads and a Miraculous Medal to a prostitute standing at the entrance of a door. That was in the year of 1998.

Just discovered Fr. Columba Jordan....LOVE HIM!!!

Brilliant!!😀thank you Father Columba ❤

Thank you Father. Off to bless my boundary line after new neighbors got a little crazy last night :) “Bob’s your uncle” sent me to google 😂

I’m going to try some on my mother in law and see how that goes

We have a holy water fount by the door when we go out so we place ourselves off and sometimes the water evaporates... I also throw a little bit of holy water on the ground because I understand that the soul closest to heaven in purgatory might only need a drop of holy water to enter heaven...... And our blessed mother takes more souls home on Christmas so usually before Christmas during Advent I will go to the cemetery with a spray bottle of holy water and walk around the different Graves......

Yes beautiful.I use Holy Water all over the house,my car as well

Thank you for this video! So great Glory to God!

Make sure you ask your Priest to bless holy water and salt in the latin form, as it is much more powerful.

I was struggling believing for a time, and one day my friend had become so inebriated that he was demonstrating uncouth behavior. I sprayed him with Holy Water cuz of his sinful behavior and he woke up the next day with no hangover. Then everyone who saw me do that were astonished by what happened. I was too, and my belief became stronger.
