And just so I’m not misconstrued...I am not denying the supernatural power of holy water. Johngrace, I don’t wish to minimize what happened to you in the least. I’m just making the point that the supernatural graces and effects can be brought out without a change in the natural properties of the thing.
Which is exactly what happens with Communion.
Maybe the structure changes because salt is added to the water before it is blessed. Whether it is now or not, I do not know.

from the article:
Before the Second Vatican Council modernized Catholic rituals in the 1960s, priests added salt to make holy water. The salt was exorcised of possible evil spirits and then mixed with water during the blessing.
Yes ! Good point! It does look like a snow flake comparision. I thought the same. Salvation did put for our discernment. I know your a believer. We are not idiots. It’s good to analyse. Good analogy of the real presence. Praise Jesus! Who deserves all Praise!
