Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers, Ascension Edition

Sanctify your home and family with the book filled with prayers and blessings from the Church’s official Book of Blessings.

Drawn from sacred liturgy and sacraments, designed for the home.

The family is the domestic church: the place where children first learn to pray, grow in faith, and live as true Christians. Within each home, families have the amazing opportunity to bring Christ to the center of their lives. From the busy mornings before work and school to household meals and everything in between, each presents a special moment for sanctification.

Compiled by the USCCB Bishops’ Committee on Liturgy, Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers equips the faithful to sanctify their homes and families in every moment, circumstance, and season.

With prayers, blessings, and litanies, many drawn from the Church’s liturgy, sacraments, and official Book of Blessings, this book can be used daily by all members of the family, featuring:

• Prayers for waking, mealtimes, and before work
• Prayers for each liturgical season
• Family prayers from birth to death
• Prayers for Catholic living
• And much more!

Set this book on a nightstand, in a prayer nook, or even in your car to ensure you and your family always have access to these powerful and transformative prayers of the Church.
