Replenishing holy water supply

Hello Fr. Martin's, A few years back I attended a parish mission on spiritual warfare and the speaker was a person who assisted in exorcism trained at the Vatican. The parish priest blessed the water people brought and salt and blessed them together in the old rite. I am running out now. Can I add regular water or regular holy water to my existing half gallon to have a replenishing supply or would need to get water blessed in the old rite again? Thanks for help with this Sarah

What would happen if a solemn exorcism is performed on someone who’s not actually possessed?

Hi Father Carlos, I’m aware that the church takes very careful precautions and investigation before continuing with exorcism. My question is, what would be the danger in performing a solemn exorcism on someone who is actually not possessed?

Generational curses

Is it possible to successfully pray for a generational curse to be broken in a family that is not your own? In others words, for a friend and her family?

Unity in the Christian Faith

Fr. Martins I love the podcast. Thank you for making this info public and readily available. I was raised a United Methodist. I left the Methodist Church when I met an incredibly devoted and devout Southern (U.S.) Baptist Brother/Pastor. He, himself, had one grandmother that was Baptist and another that was Pentacostal. I shall eternally be incredibly thankful for Fr. Chad Ripperger's creation of the Auxilium Christainorum!!!!! I was freed by saying the A.C.'s prayers the FIRST time. Praise Abba Yahweh, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit!!!!! I had prayed for gifts from the Holy Spirit for eight years. Such a beautiful miraculous gift I received!!!! We Christians all can learn from each other. I truly embrace this, deeply. We need to unite. Jesus Christ' last wish was that His flock would remain whole, together with single minded action and focus. We know a divided house won't stand..... When are we going to get together? Do we have to be brought to the point of public persecution before we cling to each other? I have so much thanks giving for what God has done for me. Through the Christian Church that taught me in Sunday School and choir practice. Through the love and acceptance displayed by the Methodists. Through the deep devotion of the Southern Baptist to God's Holy Word. And, to the FREEDOM made possible through the Roman Catholic Church. The original Church. How do we unify?

How to make a 3rd class relic

Hi! I really love the show, thank you for your work. I wanted to ask if I, as a lay person, am able to make 3rd class relics? There is a Catholic museum in my Archdiocese, and they have some relics in a glass showcase. If so, do I have to use a special prayer or formula? Could I do it through the glass? Thank you. Praying for you.
