Home Blessing
What is Home Blessing?
A Christ-Centered Family
To have a home blessed is a wonderful thing. A family asks for God’s blessings upon their domicile. And the Church has arranged a short ceremony for this occasion. Since the blessing of the house is an outward expression of what has happened within each person of the family at their blessing (Baptism – God coming to dwell within) it takes on a festive character. Church of the Holy Name of Mary Permatang Tinggi will be happy to arrange a blessing of your home.
The Criteria
To have one’s home blessed, the parents and or couple or anyone else living in a relationship in that house, have to be married in the church. If God is not part of a couple’s relationship, the blessings of a home would be contrary to the Catholic Faith – it would be a superstitious act only. (to be married by a judge only marriage made before God!) How can one expect God’s blessings on one’s house, if one does not carry God within one’s own soul?
The Procedures
