It is the custom that those chapters and individual people, who identify with the Sisters of Bethany, pray for each other. We call this "The Blessing of the Houses." Over the years, some chapters have closed, and some new ones have started. A new Blessing of the Houses had to be written. Here is my chapter's new Blessing.
