House Blessing Celebration

Having Someone To Love, Is Family

Having Somewhere To Go, Is Home

Having Both Is A Blessing

​

Blessing your home is an old and ageless tradition. Your home is your reflection; The state of your home can impact your behavior, emotions or mood, and mental health. In turn, you influence the atmosphere of your home. Ideally; your home is a refuge to de-stress: a haven for rest, rejuvenation, nourishment, recreation, creativity and comfort for you and your family, friends and pets.

 

House Blessings are done to clear, cleanse and heel the home and its occupants. A House Blessing can be performed at anytime. People have House Blessings when they first purchase their home or in conjunction with other events like a wedding, a baby blessing, or a blending of two families. Sometimes they are done to cleanse the house and occupants where there has been bad health or negative energy, divorce or separation, or a death of a family member.

Blessing Of The Occupants

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be the shelter for each other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be the warmth for each other. Now you are individuals, but there is only one life before. Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your life together. And may your days be good and long upon the earth.

 

Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority of tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves.

 

When frustration, difficulty and fear assail your relationship, as they threaten all relationships at one time or another, remember to focus on what is between you, not only the part which seems wrong.

 

In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide your face of sun in your lives, remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there. And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.

Closing Ceremony

May you always have a sunbeam to warm, good luck to charm, and a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you, laughter to cheer you, faithful friends near you, and whenever you pray, heaven to hear you.

 

May love and laughter light your days and warm your heart and home. May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam. May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures. May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours.

 

Please repeat after me; We believe in living deeply, laughing often and loving always. We believe we were brought together to support, love and care for each other. We believe that everyone's feelings count and that the uniqueness of each of us, strengthens all of us. We believe in one another, our relationship and our home.

 

May God be with you and bless you. May you see your children's children, may you be poor in misfortune, and rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness, from this day forward.

Blessing Prayer

We humbly beg of you, God the Father almighty, to bless and sanctify this home, those who live in it and everything in it. Be so kind as to fill it with all good things.

 

Grant them, Lord, abundance of blessings from heaven and substance of life from the richness of the earth. Direct the longings of their prayer to the fruits of Your mercy.

 

Be so kind, then, as to bless and sanctify this home at our coming in, just as You blessed the home of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. May your angel of light live within the walls of this house, and guard it all who live in it, through Christ our Lord. Amen
