Blessings for all Occasions
My two daughters and I use the book, Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers. It is issued by the Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy.

Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers
The basic Catholic prayerbook! This paperback edition contains prayers that have marked the joys, sorrows, and routines of many generations. This beautifully illustrated book includes common prayers and blessings for daily use, days and seasons, special times in life, and various events. Also includes an overview of the Church's calendar and may be used as a teaching tool by clergy and laity. Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers was developed by the U.S. Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy and is a wonderful gift idea for young and old alike!
No. 292-6, 444 pp., $9.95

My daughters and I really enjoyed using this book of blessings for daily use, days and seasons. We have blessed our home going from room to room. My daughters also blessed Wiggles and Van Go Go, our cats.

However, I think that the blessing I enjoy the most is the blessing of my daughters. Each day I place my hands on each of their heads and pray:

"Thank you God for the wonderful gift of this child."
