The Crucifix returnsBishop Kagan visits the renovation project on December 19 The restored Stations are hung, along with the new consecration stones and consecration candles On December 17, Msgr. Schumacher placed

the relics of St. Wenceslaus, St. Albert the Great, St. Pius X, and St. John Vianney. As he placed

the relic of St. Wenceslaus within the main Altar, he prayed, “O God, who taught the Martyr Saint

Wenceslaus to place the heavenly kingdom before an earthly one, grant through his prayers that,

denying ourselves, we may hold fast to you with all our heart. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and

ever. Grant us, we pray, Lord God, the same perseverance. Amen.”

It is customary for the faithful to bless their homes at the Epiphany. The digits, which appear at the beginning and end, designate the new year.

C M B stands for the traditional names of the Magi — Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar—and signifies the Latin prayer

CHRISTUS MANSIONEM BENEDICAT…

“““May Christ bless this dwelling!”May Christ bless this dwelling!”May Christ bless this dwelling!” 20 + C + M + B + 15 20 + C + M + B + 15 20 + C + M + B + 15

Bless, + O Lord God almighty, this home, that in it there may be health, purity,

the strength of victory, humility, goodness and mercy, the fulfillment of Thy law,

the thanksgiving to God the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

And may this blessing remain upon this home and upon all who dwell herein. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
