Leader: Bless, O Lord, this household and
family, and allow all of us who live in this
home to find in it a shelter of peace and
health. Inspire each of us to develop our
individual talents and to contribute
wisdom and good works for the benefit of
the whole family. Make our house a
haven for us all, and a place of warmth
and caring for all our friends who come to
visit us. Enlighten us with the brilliance
of your Epiphany star, so that, as we go
into the world, we might clearly see our
way to You and discover You in our work
and play. This we ask to your glory and in
the power of your kingship.
All: For yours is the kingdom and the
power and the glory now and forever,
Amen.
Then, bless the house with the sign of the
cross.

After the blessing, the initials of the Magi
(traditional names: Caspar, Melchior, and
Balthazar, They also abbreviate the Latin
words “Christus Mansionem Benedicat”,
“May Christ bless the house”) are written
with chalk over the main door way of the
house, like this: 20 + C + M + B + 15 (the +
is a cross; the "15" stands for 2015; change
the year accordingly).
God of Creation and
New Beginnings,
As we enter into a new
year we give you
thanks for last year.
Thank you for all of
the blessings you placed
before us.
Thank you for the challenges that brought us closer to you.
Thank you for the relationships that grew stronger under
another year of your guidance,
Thank you for all of the people brought into our lives last year
in whom we had the opportunity to see your face.
As we begin a new year, we ask for your continued blessing on
the journey ahead.
Bless us with the courage to speak your word in our daily life.
Bless us to see your face in those we encounter.
Bless us with the strength to endure the challenges we will
encounter.
Most important, bless us with the conviction to continue
Christ’s mission of proclaiming and promoting your
Kingdom.
In the name of Christ, your Son and our Savior, we pray.
Amen

Confirmation Students: Please remember to fill out
your vouchers showing your attendance at Holy Mass
on weekends and Holy Days. Please give your vouchers
to Father Jacek to ensure that you get counted as
having attended Mass. If you go to another church for
Holy Mass please pick up the church bulletin from that
parish and have it signed as this can also be used to
show that you have fulfilled your Holy Mass obligation.
Remember, attending Holy Mass on weekends and Holy
Days is an obligation and one that must be fulfilled in
order for you to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
