A Prayer for the Home
A petition for divine protection and angelic presence within the household.
Lord, I ask you to visit my home and keep the enemy's traps far away; may your holy angels dwell here to guard us in peace and health, and may your blessing remain upon us always, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Read the original Latin
VIsita quaeso, Domine, habitationem meam, et omnes insidias Inimici ab ea longe repelle: Angeli tui sancti habitent in ea, & nos in pace & sanitate custodiant, & benedictio tua sit super nos semper, per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
