Blessing Of The House

Today Father Henry came to bless 3 houses. We started quite late around 8:40pm from my neighbour house. Then at my house around 9:00pm. I have lit up the candle earlier and luckily the candle managed to stay alite throughout the prayer. I recited PSALM 23 during the prayer.

PSALM 23
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
