There's something in the water at St. Anne Church, a Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) parish in San Diego (visit them here).
They blessed Epiphany water last night -- a lot of water! 300 gallons worth. The four tall white barrels hold 40 gallons each and the many blue hold five gallons. Three exorcisms were performed as well.
If you're not familiar with Epiphany water, it is blessed on the eve of Epiphany. The ceremony takes about 40 minutes and includes the regular traditional exorcisms and blessings over holy water, plus the litany of the Saints and an additional special exorcism, the Te Deum along with numerous psalms and the Magnificat.
If you can get your hands on some, do it. It's powerful.
