2013 Blessing in Homes at Epiphany
according to the Episcopal Book of Occasional Services.
All gather and mark the door with the cross, the year, and the Chi Ro. The leader begins with the following Peace be to this house, and to all who dwell in it. The assembled pray together the Magnificat, beginning and ending with the following The Magnificat is then said, beginning and ending with the antiphon: I saw water proceeding out of the temple; from the right side it flowed, alleluia; and all those to whom that water came shall be saved, and shall say, alleluia, alleluia. The Song of Mary Magnificat My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in you, O God my Savior, for you have looked with favor on your lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: you, the Almighty, have done great things for me, and holy is your name. You have mercy on those who fear you from generation to generation. You have shown strength with your arm and scattered the proud in their conceit, Casting down the mighty from their thrones and lifting up the lowly. You have filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty. You have come to the help of your servant Israel, for you have remembered your promise of mercy, The promise made to our forebears, to Abraham and his children for ever. The antiphon is then repeated. Leader The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Leader Let us pray.

O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. All join in the final blessing Visit, O blessed Lord, this home with the gladness of your presence, Bless all who live here with the gift of your love; and grant that we may manifest your love to all whose lives we touch. May we grow in grace and in the knowledge and love of you; guide, comfort, and strengthen us; and preserve us in peace, O Jesus Christ, now and for ever. Amen.
