Hello All,
Today Whilst I Was Filling Up My Holy Water Bottle From Church, The Tap Wouldn't Turn Off And Holy Water Went Everywhere :S Is That A Sin? Or A Disrespect? I Didn't Mean To Do It Obviously, But I Thought I Could Have Offended Someone. :/

Certainly holy water is blessed, and so deserves the proper care, yet this care does not include accidental spilling, for such is not a sin: It is no offense to God if holy water be spilled on accident because there is no Commandment to take care of holy water or not to spill blessed water.
