WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY:


WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY: JANUARY 18-25
Please join Christians around the world, praying together for full unity which is Christ’s will. Through his death and resurrection, Christ embraces all, “that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.” (John 3:15) This annual opportunity for prayer is a time of great blessing and of increased awareness of the truths of faith that we Christians hold in common. This year’s theme, “We will all be changed by the victory of our Lord, Jesus Christ” (cf. 1 Cor 15: 51-58) was composed by a group of representatives of the Roman Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, Old Catholic and Protestant Churches active in Poland.
 


AT HOME WITH THE WORD: SMALL GROUP STUDY FOR MOMS

EPIPHANY BLESSING

BLESSING OF THE HOME ON THE EPIPHANY
Loving God, bless our home and all who live here. May you reside with us as our unseen Guest. We invite you to join us each time we gather for mealtime, prayer-time, celebration time and playtime. May your peace rest upon us during this year and may we draw closer to one another by drawing closer to you through your word and sacrament. Amen. At this time, doorframes may be blessed by marking them with chalk: 20+C+M+B+12. The initials consecrate the new year with the Latin blessing, Christus mansionem benedicat, “May Christ bless this house.” Traditionally, the initials also remind us of the legendary Magi: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar.
