Home Blessings
BEGINNING OF HOME BLESSINGS COMMENCES ON MONDAY, JANUARY 22!
Traditionally, at the Feast of Theophany, the church blesses water which is used to sanctify the homes of the faithful. By bringing the blessed water into the home, and sprinkling it in each room we rid our house of any evil influence and rededicated it to God in a special way. As we were once renewed by the waters through our own baptism into Christ, so too our rooms and our entire lives are rededicated and renewed unto Christ our God each year at this time.
Father Michael will sanctify the homes of faithful with the blessed waters of the Jordan River during the afternoon hours of 1-5 P.M. and evening between 7-8:30 P.M.
This is the time to renew our commitment to God as we begin another year in His mercy.
May your household be sanctified!
