Question: My question regards blessings such as that of fire, candles, water and oils. In some ceremonies, such as the Chrism Mass, the Easter vigil and the feast of the Presentation (February 2), these objects are blessed at Mass. Do these objects receive the blessing in such a way that they can transmit the blessing by being placed into contact with other similar objects? In other words, so that it does not run out, is it correct to add ordinary water to blessed holy water? So that it does not run out, is it correct to add unblessed oil to the holy oils and the sacred chrism blessed by the bishop in the Chrism Mass? And so that the light from the fire blessed during the Easter vigil be perpetuated, may it be passed along to another candle? — J.P.G., Zipaquirá, Colombia
