Lord, send down Your mercy and Your blessing upon us here and upon this house.

May Your angel of mercy watch over it and keep all who live here safe from anything that is evil.

May he guide us into the fulfillment of Your holy will, teaching us to observe what Christ has taught us.

O Lord, grant us health and length of days, giving us from Your generous hand all that we need to live well and wisely.

Save all those who are in want or trouble of any kind.

May this house be known as a place of joy and mercy, where the kindness of Christ becomes real for all who live here and who visit.

Be merciful to us, Lord, for You are a merciful God, who loves mankind, and to You we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages.

Amen.
