Let us pray.
Lord Jesus Christ, as I, in all humility, enter this home, let there enter with me abiding happiness and God's choicest blessings. Let serene joy pervade this home and charity abound here and health never fail.

Let Your angels of peace take over and put down all wicked strife.

Teach us, O Lord, to recognize the majesty of Your holy name.

Sanctify our humble visit and bless what we are about to do; You who are holy, You who are kind, You who abide with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
