Blessing the Home with Holy Water

(Prayer Resources)

Blessing the Home with Holy WaterDescription: 4-page pamphlet of a traditional Catholic prayer service (1 page, folded in half; print double-sided) is for families to use when blessing the home. In today’s world, it’s highly recommended to do this once a month. Use holy water from the church’s baptismal font or ask a priest to bless a bottle of tap water from home.

This Order of Blessing is for use by families in their domestic churches. The father should lead this service as the priest of the home, but the scriptures can be read by anyone; family members may want to take turns. While maintaining the structure and chief elements of the rite, the celebration can be adapted to the circumstances of the place and the people involved. A home is not blessed unless those who will live in it are present.

Beth Solis, a group facilitator in Oklahoma, says, "Our members asked us in the beginning if we minded taking things slowly so we could have time to really discuss each paragraph. We always have such great discussion! The PPT has been very helpful and is a nice addition."

Feedback from a study group in Florida

Sylvia says, "This experience deepened my love for the Eucharist in ways I couldn’t imagine when we first started this course."

Tim says, "Being the only convert in the group, I ascertained a better and stronger understanding of the importance of the Eucharist, not only in the Mass but also in my daily life."

Jimmy says, "I learned so much about the Eucharist that was powerful and enlightening. This course helped deepen my faith and my appreciation for the Holy Mass."

Erin says, "It was amazing to get everyone’s perspective on the readings. And it deepened my love in the beautiful gift that the Eucharist is to all humanity for our salvation."

Shirley says, "This course was so enlightening. It was a gift that helped me grow in my faith."
