Blessings

"Did you know that, as a baptized lay person, you are not only qualified to bless people and objects and places in certain situations (such as in your home), you are called to do so?

A simple way to start is to make it a habit to regularly bless your child—a powerful symbol of your love, and more importantly, your desire to entrust your child into the care of God’s love.

Come up with a short ritual for blessing your children during transitional times of the day (leaving or returning home, going to bed or waking, before a big event, etc.).

Here’s how:

Make the Sign of the Cross on your child’s forehead while saying: “May God bless you and keep you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
Seal the blessing with a kiss on the forehead.
Use holy water if you have it available."

Mary's Mantle Consecration

Begins August 1st

This 46 day Consecration is based on the Mantle of stars of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Each person will be assigned one day during the Consecration to fast. Each day focuses on growth in a particular virtue to draw you closer to God through his Mother and simply requires you to read the days passage and reflect on it. It is an easy at home way to grow in faith.

If you would like to participate please email sskinner@stphilipfranklin.com.
