A Special Blessing to Welcome God’s Presence

There is something sacred about the space we call home. It’s where prayers rise with the morning light, where love is shared around the table, and where God’s presence dwells in the ordinary moments of everyday life.

“My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” —Isaiah 32:18

As the Missionary Oblates celebrate Novena Masses at Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto and Tepeyac de San Antonio and at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, we are lifting up homes—yours, mine, and those still waiting to be blessed.

The sacred spaces in San Antonio and Belleville—where prayers are written, stories shared, and blessings prepared—have been blessed as spiritual homes of the Missionary Oblates.
