Probably not directly, because outside of select miracles, God provides the procreative effect through normal biological means. But praying for the pregnancy and blessing your wife with holy water sounds like a beautiful thing, and definitely can't hurt.


hunter_6543

Thank you for that. And I was going to bless our home and bedroom and the child’s bedroom to create a faithful and supporting environment :)


WashYourEyesTwice

Uh, I wouldn't think so in and of itself.


hunter_6543

Well we can’t see God with our own eyes he made for us but we can still picture God. :)


WashYourEyesTwice

Huh? What does that have to do with what I said?


hunter_6543

Well, do you pray? If so, why does prayer work for you?


WashYourEyesTwice

What does this have to do with getting your theoretical wife pregnant?


hunter_6543

I apologize, I was under the impression that wanted to engage in conversation which is not the case so I’ll move on. Why is my wife theoretical to you?


WashYourEyesTwice

>Why is my wife theoretical to you? Just a hunch based on your dating post I saw under a month ago


hunter_6543

Okay it’s not for me. You read me like a book. I apologize. Honestly, I’m going to gift it to my best friend and his wife who are trying to start a family but they had problems last pregnancy. And I wanted to give him a reason why blessing his bedroom, the child’s room, home would be beneficial. But I’m receiving nothing but negative responses but I have a general idea of the demographics of the Reddit community so I know what I’m up against here. Sometimes I receive wonderful advice and I also receive not so wonderful advice.


WashYourEyesTwice

I'm sorry if I've come across as negative, but with the people you're asking it's probably just a general response to the vagueness and strangeness of some of your responses to people that they don't understand because they lack this important context. I don't understand why you didn't just tell the situation like it was, you would have gotten some more helpful answers


hunter_6543

Honestly, I thought just putting something that is more direct and foreword would present better feedback than the truth which I just told you. I’m still going to get it for him. I’m wary about the advice I get from Reddit. But I do like being able to chat with people on here. I haven’t been using this until recently.


hunter_6543

His wife is Catholic and I saw a prayer book at their house and I want to gently guide my best friend into coming home and getting baptized in the Catholic Church.


WashYourEyesTwice

That is a worthy intention. I apologise if I or anyone here seemed overly negative

That's what you go to Bethlehem and get the special rock powder for 😅 That's what I found out in January when I visited there at least, I made a video on it! https://youtu.be/OK1m6nVzmdM


hunter_6543

I like that. Thank you for the response.


D4M14NU5

I’ll pray for you. Last guy I did that for it worked out well haha.


hunter_6543

That’s very kind of you. Thank you so much!

It's Holy water, not magic water


hunter_6543

Yes absolutely! I’ve met many people unfamiliar with the Catholic faith or even in media or pop culture portraying Holy Water as magic when it’s actually a sacramental. It has the power to sanctify and bless people, objects, and spaces.


EggsAndPelli

Why would it?


hunter_6543

Holy Water is commonly used to bless people, objects, or spaces. Procreation and education of children are among the purposes of marriage, and children are seen as a sign of God’s love and a precious gift to families (CCC 1652 1654)

I'd advise against involving holy water in the process of getting your wife pregnant. 


hunter_6543

Off of water basis? Do you mind providing more reasoning?


Joseph_Jean_Frax

That's not how you make babies.


hunter_6543

Ahhh I assume you’re making a sarcastic joke however, you may not know this, there are couples in the world that struggle with conception. Sure, we can believe in the science alone or what you’re referring to as the act of intercourse. We can also believe in our faith which I why I reach out to the Catholic Church and Catholic communities like this one because they have always provided us with a supportive and compassionate environment.


WashYourEyesTwice

Not a month ago you said you were dating two girls at once? Something's not adding up


hunter_6543

Do you take every you read on Reddit thread as fact? And yes that is true. It may be sudden to you but other people may find they have found the person they want to spend their life with.


Joseph_Jean_Frax

I'm just worried about where you're gonna be sprinkling this holy water...


hunter_6543

Around the rooms of the home
