Countless graces flow from the use of Holy Water when you understand its role in God’s plan of salvation, and how it brings new graces into your life.

In clear, convincing language, Father Theiler lays out for Christians countless surprising, but long-forgotten truths about Holy Water, and explains the interior acts and dispositions that are necessary for this blessed gift of God to have the sanctifying effect our Lord intends for you.

Signs of Life: 40 Catholic Customs and Their Biblical Roots

Bestselling author Scott Hahn guides readers through the Catholic Church's rites, customs, and traditional prayers. From the rosary to the use of Holy Water -- from infant Baptism to praying with icons -- Dr. Hahn helps you to discover the deep biblical and historical roots of each practice.

Each chapter covers a single topic, beginning with the basic facts from Church teaching and tradition, and then proceeds to answer common objections to and misconceptions about the practice. Each chapter concludes with advice for everyday application.

This book is a celebration of all things Catholic, and the biblical doctrine that makes them Catholic, but it's more than that. It's a handbook, a how-to, a good-natured defense, and a gentle nudge for all of us to do better, no matter where we are in our spiritual development.
