+++ This Blessing List is now closed. Please sign up here to receive blessings again next week. See you there! +++
Thanks to everybody who signed up this week – may these blessings bring you good things!
Once a week, on Wednesday, I bless everybody who has requested it for the current week.
The process is simple:
If you would like to be included in the blessings, leave a comment to the current blessing post by Tuesday at the latest.
I will perform the blessing ceremony at some point on Wednesday, and bless everybody who has left a comment by Tuesday.*
All times listed are in German time (i.e. EST+6, apart from the few weeks a year when the US switches to and from daylight savings at a different time than Germany). Please plan accordingly.
I will only bless people who have explicitly requested it in a comment to the current week’s blessing post. I.e. if you would like to be blessed again next week, you will need to comment again.
(To do that, you can come back at any point during the week. I put up the next Blessing List right when I close the preceding one, so you can sign up for the next blessing whenever it’s convenient for you.)
You can also request blessings for other people (or, for that matter, for pets, plants, …) – as long as you have their explicit consent, or you are their rightful “guardian” (e.g. parents for their underage kids; legal caretakers for people with dementia; owners of pets or gardens for their pets or gardens; …).
So… if you would like to receive my blessings this upcoming Wednesday, or if you have any questions, please leave a comment below!
You can use your real name, a nickname of your choice, or comment anonymously.
Please feel free to also share the link to the Blessing List with other people who are interested in being blessed. Everybody is welcome to sign up.
About the blessing itself: During the ceremony, I send a “generic” blessing to everybody on the list, which also includes intentions for health, protection, and divine guidance. I also respectfully ask for blessings from their respective deities during this general part of the cermony for those who have a relationship with a specific deity or deities.
(If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your personal religious beliefs on a public forum, there is no need to list them, as I will do this general part in any case. I trust that your personal deities will know who you are and will, hopefully, respond favourably to this general request. 🙂 If you do mention a specific deity or other divine being in your comment, I will add an extra request to this particular deity and ask them to bestow their blessings upon you, too.)
If there is anything in particular you’d like me to focus on, you can add that to your comment (in just a few words, please!). I will then include this intention specifically for you, but also keep you in the general blessing.**
And if you’d like to know more about the blessings first, you can read the behind-the-scenes-take or my thoughts about one year of blessings – but don’t forget to come back and sign up afterwards! 🙂
For those of you who’d also like to bless others and aren’t sure how to start, I’ve posted a practical guide: Blessing: How to Get Started in 9 Simple Steps.
One final note: I’ll do my best to approve comments in a timely manner, but I am not glued to my screen. It might occasionally take a day or two for your comment to be approved. Thanks for your patience!
* I’m not dogmatic about this deadline. The Tuesday cutoff is simply to make sure I see your request in time, and it will be included for sure. Any comments left after midnight on Tuesday (German time) might or might not be read before the blessing, and might or might not be included.
** I’m not a physician or other health professional. If you have any health issues you’d like me to include, I’m happy to add them – but please remember that a blessing by a random stranger on the internet does not replace a competent medical treatment. Just sayin’…

Me and Binx, please! Thank you!
Regine says
Hi there,
And welcome back – noted! All the best to you and Binx,
Regine
RandomActsOfKarma says
OK, I came back to see what time it posted my comment at. It is not using “my time”, it is doing “my time” + 6 hours (so I think that is converting it to German time?). (I checked on this because last week, you said I replied quickly and I looked at the time stamp of my comment and it didn’t seem like a time I would post.)
Regardless, thank you for the blessings and I’m keeping you in my prayers.
Take care!
Jennifer Kobernik says
Greetings Regine,
Please bless our daughters Joanna and Eleanor this week!
Regine says
Hey Jennifer,
Will gladly do. I hope they are both fine, and are giving you a rest from time to time… 😉 Thanks for signing up again,
Regine
Jennifer Kobernik says
Thank you! They are both doing really well, and I have been getting a bit more rest. Would you please add me to the list this week, too? I am a little concerned because my postpartum bleeding hasn’t stopped and my midwife has ordered an ultrasound which might lead to a d&c which I would rather avoid.
Regine says
Of course, and I hope this will resolve naturally on its own, without any further problems!
And just as an aside, you are very welcome to sign up for a blessing for yourself or your family also when you are fine – you don’t have to have any issues or problems to “qualify” for a blessing! I hope that’s self-evident, but thought I’d mention it just in case… 😉
Regine
Jennifer Kobernik says
Thank you so much!

Bless my husband David who has diabetic ulcers on his feet.

Anthony C Valterra says
My wife and I (Lisa and Anthony) have been looking for a new home in a small town not far from us. We have been looking for 6 months and had put offers on multiple homes only to have the offer beat or for the home to fail inspection.
We are looking at another potentila home this Saturday, and would really like to have this move done.
Regine says
Hi Anthony,
I‘ll be happy to include you in the next blessing. You should be aware, though, that it‘ll only happen next Wednesday – but then the divine powers aren‘t as bound by time as we are…
Would you like me to bless both of you, and also add an intention like „for a speedy move to a great new home“ or something to this effect? I‘m a bit hesitant to include the move to this particular home specifically – it might turn out it‘s not even the right place for you, since I understand you haven‘t even had a chance to see it yet. (Also, see the timing issues mentioned above…)

William says
I think I am going to be asking for a blessing every week for a while.
I am going to be moving to another country in August. I am starting the work to organize and prepare for this, and would like to ask for blessings for preparing for this move.
Regine says
Hi William,
Welcome, and please do that! Sounds like exciting times for you… 🙂
Just note that you’ll need to sign up anew each week – I can’t handle the list otherwise. If you’d like a weekly reminder, there is the email list which you can sign up for below. If you only select “Weekly Blessings”, you will only be notified about new blessing posts, and get the very rare other update about the blessings (e.g. if I should take a break, or anything like that).

Hi Regine,
Hope all is well with you! My daughter Savannah could use a blessing this week.
Thanks for everything!

Hi Matt,
Will gladly do. All the best to you and Savannah,

Mark says
Sign me up please!
I offer you my blessing in return, if you would like it.
Thanks,

Regine says
Hey Mark,
Noted, and yep, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings. Thanks for offering,

Suzanne says
I’d very much appreciate a blessing. I’ve recovered from a bout with cancer and am finding it a struggle to deal with my husband’s heart failure and cognitive difficulties. I have a long and loving relationship with St. Anthony and have been helped often through his intercession. I pray to have the physical and emotional strength to take the best and most loving care of my husband. Thank you for your kindness.
Regine says
Hi Suzanne,
That sounds like a veritable challenge – kudos to you for holding up so well, despite all the difficulties and challenges! 🙂 I’ll gladly include you, and I wish you and your husband all the best,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
We’re are all doing well in these crazy times, and hope you are, too.

We appreciate you!

Regine says
Valerie,
Thanks. I do appreciate you very much, too!

Justin Moore says
Hi Regine. I could use a blessing this week.
The roofers came and did a patch on our house until they can do the job fully, so at least the rain is staying out.
Thank you for your work.
Regine says
Hey Justin,
A rather tiring affair, huh? Good that, at the very least, the roof is secure for now. I‘ve put you on the list,
Regine
V.O.G says

Regine says

Welcome back! Noted, and yes, I‘d very much appreciate your blessings this week – thanks for asking!
