I have never understood the idea of blessing ourselves with Holy Water on exiting the Church after receiving the Eucharist. sure we can all use an extra blessing, but you have just received the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord.

Have you ever considered the prayer potential in the Sign of the Cross? Calling on the entire Trinity? One of the greatest prayers I can think of, and so simple.

It's called bondage...You need the water but you can't get it except from a Catholic...
