@@mattgerald2460 - Why are you even on here, if you are not even a Catholic believer. Catholic's don't tend to go trolling the channels of Protestants. We know that our spiritual religious life and the attaining of our salvation is far too precious to waste on such frivolous matters, and more importantly, such way's would be displeasing to God. He'd much rather us be giving our time to him, through prayer, devotion, worship, penance, sacrifice, and by doing good works, we must be pleasing to God, over man. God Bless.

I did like those ideas! If we’re going to be truthful, the Catholic Church had the 7 book, but in the Reformation the Protestants took them out. (Basically because the passages contradicted them or promoted the Catholic Church) Also the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I also love having miscellaneous Saint books to help motivate me to live my Faith :) God bless you and your family!

In India, Holy Water is distributed to the congregation at Easter. The parish priests would visit the homes and bless them. But, (sadly, in my opinion) nowadays we are given a house blessing prayer and ofcourse the Holy Water, and are asked to bless our own homes. The head of the family is asked to lead the prayer. But if you specifically invite the priest he does come and bless the home, any time, not only after Easter. Most catholic homes also have an altar where either a picture of Jesus or the Crucifix is placed. It is given pride of place in the home.

That’s because calling on our Blessed Mother scares demons away because she magnifies our Lord.

One thing I have noticed is the holy water fonts sold for homes tend to soak up the holy water. I used poly acrylic to seal mine and now my holy water does not disappear. One thing as a new convert I was taught was to have a prayer table/altar because it is important to make our homes the domestic church. Also to have a little area outside of the home like a bench outside with a statue of Mary or Jesus to sit outside to have prayer time.

great ideas! Thank you for sharing!

Yes, Every Catholic house hold should have those 5 things. 1. Holy Water 2. A Crucifix 3. A Holy Rosary. 4. Picture of the Divine mercy image of Jesus. 5. Picture of the Virgin Mary. But other things such as a statue of your Patron Saint. Take mine for example, Saint Michael the Archangel. And invite your Catholic Priest for a house blessing.

Great video!! I love all your suggestions. I think the water fount is so beautiful!!

Because I watched your channel, I became interested in the Divine Mercy Chaplet and prayed almost everyday in Lent. Thank you for following your calling. Yep I have that bible.

Thanks God bless you and family have a holy weekend

Thank you so much for this video as well as all of your videos...they all are from the heart and very informative...

Have you ever heard of putting a small cross over your inside doors? Especially the front door to keep evil out. Love your videos!!

Thank you so much for this video Heather! My husband and I live in an apartment at the moment, but we are going to have a house next year. This video is so helpful! :)

Thank you for this video and channel 😊🌷And such pretty thumbnail!

Thank you Heather for this lovely session and sharing these wonderful ideas and gifts with us. Today, I followed your mum's tradition and for the first time, I blessed rooms of our house with the holy water I bought many years ago at one of the catholic retreat places in northern Italy. Wishing you and your family all the best and lots of blessings 😇👼❤️

I love the idea of the Holy water. I always wanted it but never knew where to get it. Thanks.

It would be nice to have Blessed Salt too, Heather. Thanks so much 😇 for the inspiration you give 🙂

Loved this! Thank you.

wonderful information loved it God bless u ... continue Ur good work

I think your video topic is great! God Bless you and your ministry to speak and teach the Word of God in a world where His teachings are so desperately needed.🙏💗

Great ideas have a beautiful font near my front door! Love the spider story, lol.

This video was in my feed today! Great reminders to keep the faith foremost in our lives! I put a Divine Mercy picture in the front door window. I get blessed candles from the altar at church when they're ready to change them. I keep a scapular over my bed. And, don't forget to put flowers by your picture/statue of Our Blessed Mother. Bless you - you're a lovely testimony of what a godly woman should be!

I enjoy watching what you have to share of God and Lady Mary. This is something that gives peace to my soul, heart and senses. And more happily is that l learn more English in such wonderful way when God is in between. Hugs and greetings from Costa Rica. God bless you and your family as well..🙏🙏🙏

LOVE this video- so glad I found you!! Such excellent suggestions. The only thing I would add is blessed salt- and it’s always great to find a priest that can bless it in the old Latin form. I sprinkle it around my house and cook with it- especially when family or friends who have fallen away come to eat 😂 God Bless! Jill

Thank you for all the good advice you are very helpful so happy I found you

A little off topic, but can you do a video on modest fashion? I'm refreshing my wardrobe with simple modest pieces, but there are some pieces I just love but am not sure they are modest enough! E.g.- long sleeve shirts that show shoulders. And date outfits

I think Pope Pius X wrote on this. I think neck line shouldnt go below or maybe 2 finger width below where the colar bone joins. Sleeves minimum just above elbow and skirt minimum should cover knees. This is more sun smart too! In mass you should wear a chapel veil over your hair white for virgin/unmarried darker colour generally black or navy for married. ☺

I love your KZread videos! I get so much inspiration for my apologetics videos

You are such a blessing!!!

BEAUTIFUL! Thank you and God bless you and your family!!

You and your son remind us all so much of Mary and Jesus, and all the "Madonna and child" portraits from the Reniassance. Beautiful.

I had my house blessed and since I live alone now am elderly and disabled it was a great boost to my confidence.x

I'd like to have a statue of Our Lady in our garden... thank you for your video - I've just subscribed and will check out your other videos! Bless you!

I would also recommend other Catholic publications. Catholic Digest magazine is wonderful as are books about the saints lives for inspiration. Thank you for having this channel.

Awe your little boy is so cute, he’s “Who is mum talking to???” Thank you much for this video. Pictures of Jesus don’t go over well for my son, but hoping he learns to understand why we have them.

My mom and your mom do the same thing and I LOVE it 😁😁

Let me add something here, Catholic Mom. I suggest to build An Altar at home where you can put all your sacramentals there including your Holy bible. It would be good if the Bible stand will be built in glass or wood and glass so you can see through it. You can invite your Catholic neighbors there for a BEC(BASIC ECCLESIAL COMMUNITY). BEC here in our country, the Philippines is very much alive. It composed of at least 12 members/family which represents the Church founded by Christ through His disciples. In this way, you will be establishing a strong bond of brotherhood to your fellow Catholics there and one of which is the sharing of foods. The members will take turn in hosting the prayer meeting(BEC) and will prepare for the foods and will be shared right after the prayer. Simple foods will do like snacks- sandwiches, juice or fruits. Do not forget to ask somebody to bring guitar for the songs if a portable keyboard is not available. The important thing there is you have expressed faith along with the small community. GOD BLESS! BY THE WAY, CATHOLIC MOM. DO NOT FORGET TO PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH.

St. Benedict medal, icon etc...helps ward off evil

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm thinking for, the right place to put my altar in my new house, (still under construction). My plan is to make my altar on the second floor by the door to go up and go down. I already have some religious articles I can place on my altar, but my problem is, due to pandemic I can't go home yet to do my altar. I pray that this covid19 will end now. God bless us all.

Saint Benedict medal is very important. God bless you.

We have in our house Sacred Heart of Jesus! tons of Jesus and Mary statues! Holy water! Bibles!crucifix! so many rosaries! An altar table with infant Jesus! Catechism books! And even saints pictures💙! There is no room I could hide from them... Im always watched 😂 But I wish to have an image of DIVINE MERCY😇! I guess I should thank God for making me born as a Catholic in a good family.. Without which I'm sure I would have gone stray... Your vdo made me realize how blessed I am..

Wonderful video 💖💛💒

Thank you so much for this video. I have a friend that wants so much to become Catholic. So difficult now days with the pandemic. She bought a Bible and has been given so medals. I am not sure if truly Catholic (she lives in Oregon so I can’t see what she’s actually been given.) I do explain that the Bible that she does did just buy is not a Catholic Bible and that there’s lots of books that have been removed from it so she’s going to get a new one and she wasn’t really sure which one to get. She’s also had strange things going on in her house like blood appears in the kitchen and then disappears and appears she did some history on the house and evidently there was a murder committed in that house. So thank you so much because I’m sending her a link to this video and I’m hoping she’ll watch it a couple times and definitely up and tell you to get the house blessed, or even have a exorcists in there if she can get a hold of a priest

Pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

I have a home altar, my crucifix, holy water, image of Christ, and tons of other things in the home. Reminds me to always think of God before all else. Btw, I love your crucifix, is where can I get one like it? ❤️ Thanks Heather for the video, loved it!

In Poland we have the tradition that in the time after Christmas up until the beginning of February we invite our parish priests to our home to bless it (so ideally each home is getting blessed once a year). We also sing some Christmas songs and have a meal together. Originally it was even so that the priest announced a day, when he will be moving around and blessing the houses and then the people could prepare for it 😊 Thank you so much for your amazing content, Heather! I really would like to have some more holy pictures in my room, but I also would like to keep some kind of "aesthetic" and sometimes the colours in the pictures just do not work well with each other... I hope founding a solution soon 😊

I got two crucifixes in my room. My grandfather passed away back in August and my mom has gotten more crucifixes from his house to put in the house. I hope we can put one in every room.

Sacramentals: Blessed Crucifixes, Blessed Rosaries, Scapulars of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Blessed Religious Images, Holy Medals, Holy Water, Holy Salt, Blessed Liturgical Candles, Blessed Statues of Saints, Blessed Palm Leaves, and the Douay Rheims Bible. An altar with a Statue of the Sacred Heart properly displayed. Statues: St Joseph, Our Lady, Saint Micheal the Archangel. P.S. The Sign of the Cross is also a Sacramental. Every Catholic should learn to do it properly and reverently.
