One of the easiest ways to bring a bit of holiness into your Catholic home is with a holy water font.

There are so many different holy water fonts for the home and you can definitely find something that will match your Catholic decor.
Why use a holy water font?
Holy water is a sacramental of the Catholic Church. It is water blessed by a priest to invoke God’s blessing on all who use it. The use of holy water can be dated back to the Old Testament.
According to National Catholic Register,
“In the Scriptures, Israelite priests used to purify people and places by sprinkling them with water (see Leviticus 14:49-52 and Numbers 19-18). Likewise, in Numbers 5 (written above), God calls on his people to use holy water in a blessing.”
When we use holy water we are reminded of our baptism. When we bless ourselves with holy water we remember our baptism cleanses us of our sins and how we need to be forgiven for our sins.
How to use a holy water font?
To use a holy water font you simply dip your fingers in the holy water and make the sign of the cross over your body. You can place a holy water font by the entrance door of your home or in bedrooms. You will be able to get holy water from your church. Use holy water bottles to transport the water from your church to your home.
Anyone in your home can bless themselves at any time, but especially when entering and leaving the home.
A holy water font would make an excellent Catholic gift for first communion, confirmation, or any other sacramental occasions.
