A HOUSE BLESSING

It is an excellent idea to bless your home even if it has been officially blessed before. We cannot ask God and his angels often enough to bless and protect our home and all who live in it. Gather those present together and pray the following blessing.

Lord,
We rejoice in the victory of your Son over death:
By rising from the tomb to new life
He gives us new hope and promise.
Bless all the members of this household
And surround us with your protection,
That we may find comfort and peace
In Jesus Christ, the paschal lamb,
Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever. Amen

Now sprinkle the rooms of the house with holy water and then say:

Let this water call to mind our baptism in Christ,
Who by his death and resurrection has redeemed us.
