Had an odd converstion this morning, which came to an odd conclusion. I have a few questions about beliefs about Lourdes water to be answered by anyone because I wonder whether the assumptions are correct...
1. Can you dilute the "holy spirit"? So if you have some Lourdes water and you top it up with normal water, does it all become just as holy or is it somehow half as holy or does it become not holy at all?

is there a two?
i dont think that if you top it up with normal water then it is classed to be holy water anymore. to some extent is has been "contaminated" if you get what i mean! It can't be as it isnt the pure water that comes out of the spring in lourdes and doesnt have the healing power that the lourdes water does, or else people would simply wash themselves in normal water and heal. Yes i know that not everyone does heal from lourdes water but for those that do it was down to the lourdes water not just bogstandard water. Does that make sense?

It does make sense. And blows the theory out of the window. :-(
There was a two, and a three, but I wanted to ask them one at once. No point now...

i agree with what's been said, but in my opinion, you've still got holy water even though it's been "contaminated". surely this just makes it more diluted and therefore less holy. some of it's still holy.
i don't know anyone who's been healed by holy water. does anyone else? and is holy water only from lourdes? what about water from the vatican? the water that comes out of their taps, actually in the building itself, is that normal water or holy? sorry, i'm starting a philosophical debate here. i know we're so good at them, lol!
