Prayers
A Home Blessing - by Fr. John Devany, C.P.Lord Jesus Christ, You have told us: "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them." Relying on Your promise, we come together in this, our home, welcoming you into our midst and asking You to claim Your place here.
May Your Presence always pervade this home and make it holy. May Your love fill the hearts of those who dwell here and so radiate out from here that others may experience a share of Your blessing.
Make of this home a place where faith is daily brought to life as this family continually learns from You, Your lessons of Patience and Gentleness, of Constant Caring and Unselfish Love.
We play that this blessing which we ritualize today may so permeate this house that it becomes a permanent part of it - an outward sign of the Presence and the Power and the Protecting Love of God, Our Father. May Christ truly find a Home here - in this house and in our hearts.
