Domestic Church House Warming, Wedding, Shower, or Baptism Gift
Whether this gift is for yourself and your own family or for gifting to a family at a marriage, at the Baptism of their child, a wedding or baby shower, when moving into a new home, or at any other time — it is a beautiful blessing to have special holy items in the Catholic home.
This gift includes blessed sacramentals (“visible forms of invisible grace,” shared Augustine of Hippo in the fourth century) for spiritual protection of the family and home, as well as books (and possibly a DVD) to thoroughly nourish the family and teach the Catholic Faith.
The 100% beeswax candle should be blessed and used in the home during special occasions and even in times of storm or unrest. Bring the candle to a Catholic priest or Deacon and ask for a blessing upon it.
The Holy Water bottles should be filled with blessed Holy Water from church and kept on hand at all times in the Catholic home for purposes of blessing people and things. It’s a very good prayerful habit to bless one another with Holy Water in the form of a cross on the forehead in the morning and evening, and before leaving the home. Blessed Holy Water is a sacramental and a form of spiritual protection and reminds us of our Baptism.
The Holy Water font can be hung by the front door and should contain blessed Holy Water to be used upon entering and leaving the home, or at any other time. Its can also be hung in a bedroom or any other place in the home.
FREE: gift to you from Donna-Marie —The blessed St. Benedict medals (already have been blessed with a full exorcism blessing) and can be placed at the 4 corners of the home for spiritual protection.
FREE: gift to you from Donna-Marie —The jar of Blessed Salt (already blessed with the full exorcism blessing) should be used (sprinkled) any time and anywhere spiritual protection is desired. The formula for the blessing of salt (on page 3 and 4) can be taken to a Catholic priest or Deacon, along with a supply of clean fresh salt. You can request that your new salt be blessed. You can then use that clean salt in recipes, in salt shakers at the table, (even put a couple granules on your tongue) and also to sprinkle (in homes, cars, hotels, etc.), anywhere you’d like spiritual protection. It is not a superstition to used blessed salt and it should not be used in a superstitious way. Blessed salt is a sacramentals of our Catholic Church. Salt is mentioned in the Bible and Jesus mentions salt. Using sacramentals requires faith in God.
The books: Feeding Your Family’s Soul: Dinner Table Spirituality and Reclaiming Sundays, both written by noted author, speaker, and television host Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, will help equip parents, grandparents, and caregivers with the Catholic tools to teach the Faith and to reclaim their family Sundays. Donna-Marie knows that families are very busy and gives them sure ways to slow-down to make time for family togetherness, learning the Faith, to pray and carry out works of mercy.
Donna-Marie has it all mapped out in the books and encourages parents, grandparent, and caregivers to seize opportunities to give 10 to 15 minute faith lessons right at the dinner table, or wherever and whenever it works for the family. The author also gives ways in which to carry out the lesson’s theme throughout the weeks.
The DVD: Feeding Your Family’s Soul: Simple Lessons for a Faith-Filled Home(if included in this gift set) offers 7 inspiring lessons in practical and meaningful ways. With compassion, humor, and encouragement, along with striking imagery, Donna-Marie empowers parents to reclaim their role as the primary catechists to their children.
