在英国国教、东正教、卫理公会、信义会、旧天主教和罗马天主教中,圣水是被神父或主教祝圣过的水,用以洗礼或祝圣某人、某地或某物。 圣水被放置于洗礼台中,洗礼台则通常位于教堂的入口处(或是有单独的一间洗礼堂),以提醒人们洗礼是皈依基督教的最重要的仪式。 还有一种类似的容器叫做圣水钵,也常被置于入口处。天主教徒在进入教堂时要先以手指蘸圣水,于胸前划十字。星期天的彌撒仪式中有撒圣水的仪式 (拉丁语aspersion), 其历史可以上溯到九世纪。具体做法是将圣水掸酒器蘸入圣水盂中,然后洒向教众。另外,根据各个教派的不同习惯,圣水中有时会加盐。
圣水的使用及仪式
[编辑]为水祝圣的仪式通常在复活节守夜中进行,以备洗礼之用。在其他任何时间也可以为水祝圣,作为洗礼仪式的一部分。为水祝圣后,可以将普通的水加入圣水中。只要加入的水在总量中不占多数,则仍然可被视为圣水。 圣水的制作过程就其本身而言是一种驱魔仪式,其拉丁语祷文如下:
Exorcizo te, creatura aquæ, in nomine Dei Patris omnipotentis, et in nomine Jesu Christi, Filii ejus Domini nostri, et in virtute Spiritus Sancti: ut fias aqua exorcizata ad effugandam omnem potestatem inimici, et ipsum inimicum eradicare et explantare valeas cum angelis suis apostaticis, per virtutem ejusdem Domini nostri Jesu Christ: qui venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos et sæculum per ignem. Deus, qui ad salutem humani generis maxima quæque sacramenta in aquarum substantia condidisti: adesto propitius invocationibus nostris, et elemento huic, multimodis purificationibus præparato, virtutem tuæ benedictionis infunde; ut creatura tua, mysteriis tuis serviens, ad abigendos dæmones morbosque pellendos divinæ gratiæ sumat effectum; ut quidquid in domibus vel in locis fidelium hæc unda resperserit careat omni immunditia, liberetur a noxa. Non illic resideat spiritus pestilens, non aura corrumpens: discedant omnes insidiæ latentis inimici; et si quid est quod aut incolumitati habitantium invidet aut quieti, aspersione hujus aquæ effugiat: ut salubritas, per invocationem sancti tui nominis expetita, ab omnibus sit impugnationibus defensa. Per Dominum, amen.
