Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless ______. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.”

Reminds me...I was at the Papal Mass at Dodger Stadium and whenever the Pope does anything audience or whatever, at the end, they announce that the Holy Father will now bless medallions etc of the faithful....
I had a crucifix around my neck but I didn't take it off and hold it up. So I asked a priest whether it was blessed

What do you do? 29248. jexster - 10/14/2008 8:12:43 PM About as Christian as my socks 29249. Jenerator - 10/16/2008 2:24:38 AM What does naming your daughter "Faith" do?
Let's see... back in 2004, I wanted to have another baby, but my husband did not. He was pretty adamant about not having any more children, and it made me very sad. I tried to talk with him about it, and our discussions were peaceful, but brief. He simply didn't want any more kids.
I prayed to God that he would take the desire away from me to have more children or that he would give my husband the desire to have more. I just wanted to be in God's will. I prayed and prayed and prayed and fasted and prayed. Eventually I got to the point where I was resigned about not having another baby and was alright with it. I asked for God to give me more faith so that I could trust him more. Three months later, I found out I was pregnant despite using protection! I was scared to tell my husband, afraid that he would think I somehow sabotaged him. Again, I prayed about it.
I then broke the news to him and he was elated!
I decided to name the baby Faith if it was a girl, because she was a gift from God. My husband loves her dearly and is so tender with her. We both feel complete as a family now.
