I usually need to do so as well and just use a wet rag to remove the chalk. Then a dry cloth to dry the area. I do this the day before the blessing.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929374709032473716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-37725109135295369802017-12-27T09:47:05.427-06:002017-12-27T09:47:05.427-06:00we did this last year on the inside of the home.

A friend of mine had told me of this ritual a few years ago, in response to a cleansing of his home (an attachment of some sort to a baby bed they had purchased). But I was not aware of the formal prayer. Does anointing oil also serve, instead of chalk ?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447330490551513931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-55302321002878483652013-01-11T01:31:37.532-06:002013-01-11T01:31:37.532-06:00My mother did this in our home every year when I w...My mother did this in our home every year when I was a child. Only recently was that memory stirred, and I felt compelled to look into it. When I asked other Catholics if they had ever done/seen this, the answer was always 'no.' I would like to thank you for this posting. Using this, I hope to carry on my mother's tradition in my own home. <br />Thank you again, and God Bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
