Epiphany House Blessing
Epiphany marks the occasion of a time-honored Christian tradition of
“chalking the doors.” This can be done either by the parish priest or the head
of the house. We have blessed chalk available in the church, take a piece
home and say the following prayer, use the blessed chalk to mark the main
entrance of your home:
20 + C + M + B + 21
The letters have two meanings. First, they represent the initials of the three Magi: Caspar, Malchior,
and Balthazar — who came to visit Jesus with gifts. They also abbreviate the Latin phrase, Christus
Mansionem Benedicat: “May Christ bless this house.” The “+” signs represent the cross, and the “20”
at the beginning and the “21” at the end mark the year. Taken together, this inscription is performed
as a request for Christ to bless the home so marked and stay with those who dwell therein throughout
the entire year.
Leader: Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord
is risen upon thee—Jesus Christ born of the Virgin Mary.
All: And the Gentiles shall walk in thy light and kings in the splendor of thy rising, and the glory of the
Lord has risen upon thee.
Leader: Let us pray.
Bless, O Lord God almighty, this home, that in it there may be health, purity, the strength of victory,
humility, goodness and mercy, the fulfillment of Thy law, the thanksgiving to God the Father and to the
Son and to the Holy Spirit. And may this blessing remain upon this home and upon all who dwell herein.
Through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen. ~From the Roman Ritual

for Mission Meeting
New rescheduled date- Friday, January 8th at 7pm the Diocese of Lansing Realign
Resources for Mission Committee will have a virtual online meeting with staff and parishioners in
an effort to explain the reason, rationale and methodology of the Realign Resources for Mission
process and, most importantly, to listen to parishioners response of the process and how it could,
potentially, impact upon your parish positively or negatively. Fr Tom will send a link ahead of the
meeting, where you'll be able to click to join online. The meeting will consist of two components:
First, a presentation on behalf of the Realign Resource for Mission Committee; Second, small
group discussion followed by feedback from parishioners on your hopes and fears for the process;
what you love or feel needs to be known about your parish; and any specific suggestions you may
have for the future of your parish or the future of the diocese. All are most welcome. For more
information please visit: https://www.dioceseoflansing.org/realign-resources-for-mission
