House Blessing
for Epiphany (or any other time): The custom is to mark with chalk the lintel
above your front door, or a space nearby in the following way:
20+C+M+B+23 The year and the
three crosses are easy to understand. The three letters either
stand for the traditional names of the Wise Men (Caspar, Melchior
and Balthasar) or the Latin Christus Mansionem Benedicat (May
Christ bless this home) a prayer you can say as you mark the
doorway with chalk.

A New
Beginning! by Henri J. M. Nouwen: 'We must learn to live
each day, each hour, yes, each minute as a new beginning, as a
unique opportunity to make everything new. Imagine that we could
live each moment as a moment pregnant with new life. Imagine that
we could live each day as a day full of promises. Imagine that we
could walk through the new year always listening to the voice
saying to us: “I have a gift for you and can’t wait for you to see
it!” Imagine.' - New Year
