Let's pray for peace 🙏

Mateo 5:9
[9]“Mapalad ang mga gumagawa ng paraan para sa kapayapaan, sapagkat sila'y ituturing na mga anak ng Diyos.

Juan 14:27
[27]“Kapayapaan ang iniiwan ko sa inyo. Ang aking kapayapaan ang ibinibigay ko sa inyo; hindi ito katulad ng kapayapaang ibinibigay ng mundo. Huwag na kayong mabalisa; huwag na kayong matakot.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Splashing water on people is not part of the Church's official practice.

Why?

1. NOT A LITURGICAL ACT
— Splashing water on passersby is not part of the liturgical or sacramental life of the Church. The Church honors Saint John the Baptist with Mass, prayers, and reflection, NOT PUBLIC PLAYFULNESS

2. CAN BE DISRESPECTFUL OR HARMFUL
— What may seem like fun can be troublesome, disrespectful, or even unsafe—especially for those not expecting it, such as commuters, the elderly, or motorists.

3. LOSES THE SPIRITUAL MEANING
— Turning a sacred symbol (water for conversion and baptism) into a game trivializes its religious significance.

4. NOT INCLUSIVE OR CONSENSUAL
— Many people affected by this custom may not understand or appreciate the symbolism. Without consent, it can feel more like harassment than devotion.

Remember, not all passersby are Catholics.

------------

✅ HOW DO WE CELEBRATE THIS FEAST PROPERLY?

1. Attend Mass and reflect on your own baptism.
2. Pray for the grace of conversion and humility like John the Baptist.
3. Teach children the true meaning of water in Christian life.
4. Bless your home with holy water in a reverent way.
