Question: Brother, Is it illicit to cook with Holy salt or water with the intent to use them as a sacramental to weaken the enemy? I sometimes add these to what I am preparing. My priest seemed to think it might not be an appropriate use of the sacramental. I use them in traditional ways as well. Thank you.
Question Answered by Dear Joseph: in my opinion it is perfectly okay to use holy salt or holy water in food. It is another way to bless the food. Many people do this. In terms of spiritual warfare, when someone has ingested an item which is a hex, consumption of holy salt and holy water is beneficial. But in my opinion, it is perfectly okay to use holy salt and holy water in food under ordinary circumstances. God Bless, Bro.

Brother,

Is it illicit to cook with Holy salt or water with the intent to use them as a sacramental to weaken the enemy? I sometimes add these to what I am preparing. My priest seemed to think it might not be an appropriate use of the sacramental. I use them in traditional ways as well. Thank you.
