A collection of various house blessings from differing cultures and sources the Bible, Celtic spirituality, Latin prayers, prayers of St Francis and other saints, poems of blessing from Robert Herrick and other literary figures, liturgies for rites of blessing for each room of a home and more.

The act of blessing is a powerful one in Christianity with deep biblical roots, reaching back to the early chapters of Genesis. It expresses a very basic human instinct - the longing for protection, peace and happiness. So it is not surprising that the world is full of blessings for that most basic of human provisions - a place to call home.

Peter Watkins has collected together over 100 house blessings from widely differing cultures and sources - the Bible, Celtic spirituality, Latin prayers (translated here!), prayers of St Francis and other saints, poems of blessing from Robert Herrick and other literary figures, contemporary liturgies for rites of blessing for each room of a home - and much more.

PETER WATKINS is the author of The Soul of Wit and joint author of Winged Wonders. He also wrote The Book of Animals, a very successful children's title published by Julia McRae. He is a parish priest in Ealing, London.
