+++ 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 here – 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’…

I ask a blessing for my husband Robert who is struggling after a stroke and heart failure. I ask at his request for hope and strength to regain his good health. We are both Christians and I have a particular connection to St. Anthony.
Regine says
Hi Suzanne,
Oh dear! I hope Robert is going to recover fully and soon, and I’ve put him on the list for next week. Please tell him I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery,
Regine
PS: Would you like a blessing for yourself, too? I don’t mind at all blessing people even though they are “fine” – and this must be a stressful time for you at best…
Suzanne says
Thank you so much, Regine! I would really appreciate a blessing. I’m so focused on him now that I forget about myself. I have a recent clean bill of health after a year of surgery and chemotherapy. I’m healed but not at my best or strongest so a blessing would be so very welcome. Thanks again for your kindness.
Regine says
Hi again,
Well, you‘ve had quite the ride then, haven‘t you? I‘ll gladly put you on the list, too.
All the best to both of you,
Regine
Omer says
Hello again Regine.
I’d like to thank you for last Wednesday’s blessing, which felt helpful.
And I’d be grateful for being included in this week’s blessing too.
All the best,
Omer
Regine says
Hi Omer,
Glad to hear that, and thanks for signing up again! 🙂 I‘ve put you on the list,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine!
Vicki has decided to move Shirleen from the assisted living home into her own home next week, thinking she will be happier there. Vicki’s husband and I think this is a bad idea, but as she feels quite strongly about this we officially support her choice.
Your special blessing for a smooth transition would be much appreciated!
If you are accepting blessings this week, please count me in. 😊
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vicki, and Vanessa
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
There is never a static equilibrium, is there? 😉
May this move be to the best of everybody involved! I‘ve put you folks on the list, and yep, please, I‘d appreciate your blessings very much. Thanks,
Regine
Jeff says
Hi Regine,
I would like a blessing for this week for myself (health and wisdom) and if you would/could a blessing for peace and harmony for America this week.
As always, my blessings to you.
Jeff
Regine says
Hey Jeff,
Hope you‘re fine and things are going well on your end amidst all the craziness! Your request is noted. I could and will include this – the way you‘ve carefully phrased it, I don‘t think your second request will go against anybody‘s consent, or do any harm. How much good it‘ll do amidst everything that‘s going on remains to be seen… 🙂
Thanks,
Regine
Jennifer Kobernik says
I would like to request a blessing for myself (Jennifer Kobernik), my husband Josiah Kobernik, our daughter Joanna, and our unborn daughter as well, please. For Joanna, I ask that she will soon be completely healed from her recent head injury. For the whole family, I ask that we are protected and freed from any connections to malign entities or thought forms created by others. Thank you!
Regine says
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks, and noted. I wish you and your family all the best, and hope that your daughter will recover well,
Regine
Jennifer Kobernik says
Thank you very much!

I would like a blessing, please. Thank you!
Regine says
Hi Random,

V.O.G says
Hello Regine!
I would love a blessing this week, please!
And as always, I offer mine in return to you if you’ll have it. 🙂
— V.O.G
Regine says
Hi V.O.G.,
Gladly, and I‘d very much appreciate yours in return this week. 🙂

Atmospheric River says
I would love to be included again this week, the usual, neededng to not panic and need to strengthen abilities to think well enough to prioritize and to plan out and implement all things in ruinng the household
thanks
Atmospheric River
Regine says
Hi Atmospheric River,
Welcome back, and I‘ll happily include you.
Btw, I very much appreciate that you spell out the intention each week (if you want the same one as the weeks before, that is!), even if it might seem repetitive to you. It saves me having to search back and forth for what people wrote earlier, and I wouldn‘t want to guess what somebody means in less than clear-cut cases. So thanks for typing it out again! 🙂
Regine
Justin Moore says
Hi Regine.
If you don’t mind including me in a general blessing, I’d be most obliged.
Thank you!
Regine says
Hey Justin,
I don‘t mind at all, quite the contrary! 🙂
Hope all is going well on your end,
Regine
Ochre Harebrained Curmudgeon says
Hello. again, Regine.
I would be most grateful for another blessing this week. Thank you for your faithfulness in doing this. Your blessings are a nice little anchor in the storm for me.
*OHC*
Regine says
Hi OHC,
Glad to hear this, and thanks for coming back. I enjoy doing them, so it‘s really a win all around… 🙂
