Epiphany Home Blessing
Leader: May peace be to this house and all who enter here.
By wisdom a house is built and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.
Reader: As we prepare to ask God’s blessing on this household, let us listen to the words of scripture:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him., and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all the people.
The Word became flesh and lived among us and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace.

Blessing:
O God, you revealed your Son to all people
by the shining light of the Star.
We pray that you bless this home and all who live here
with your gracious presence.
May your love be our inspiration, your wisdom our guide,
your truth our light and our benediction;
through Christ our Lord, Amen
