It is great the prominence given to the blessing of the home. Especially note 2:
Homes may be blessed annually. Usually this is done during the season of the Epiphany due to the connection of the visitation of the Magi to the home of the infant Christ.
I've blessed a number of homes in my ministry, but most folks think of it only when moving to a new home or such. What a beautiful things to encourage the annual blessing of the homes!

Annual home blessings at Theoph... oops, I mean, Epiphany! Who knew?
Sounds like someone at the liturgical commission is an Eastward-leaner.
Following the very sound Lutheran belief that if it is true, noble and confessing of Christ - regardless of its origin - we recognize it as our own. Thus, Evening Prayer with Phos Hilaron, Psalm 141, and the traditional Eastern litany. Thus, hymns from Wesley and chants from Russia. Thus, Roman hymns and African hymns. A testament to true catholicity: "all things are yours."
Ooops, that prior "anonymous" post was mine.
Sorry.

The epitome of catholicity indeed !!
