May Almighty Merciful God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit bless us and protect us.
Oh, sweetest Jesus Christ, Almighty King of heaven and earth, Son of David, Jesus of Nazareth, crucified on the Cross for our sake, have mercy on this house, protect those who live in it. May Your blessing from the Lord accompany them everywhere; may the Holy Spirit sanctify their thoughts and hearts; His omnipotence is everywhere, in every place: everything that is in this house, who enters them and who leaves them, may the Most Holy Trinity bless and protect from all evil, so that nothing unclean comes close to them.
Let the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with the nine orders of Angels be in this house and give it its peace. May the Most Holy Virgin Mary cover him with her maternal Protection, may the holy Apostles protect him, may his well-being be confirmed and strengthened by the holy Evangelists.
Let the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ be his roof; let the nails of our Lord Jesus Christ be his protection; let the crown of our Lord Jesus Christ be his covering.
The Most Holy Virgin Mary, the holy righteous Joseph and all the saints, Guardian Angels, beg our Lord Jesus Christ, the One of the Holy Trinity, to save this house from thunder, lightning, fire, hail, flood, from the attacks of evil people, need, unbelief, heresy, war and every misfortune that threatens the soul and body, in which may God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit help us. Amen.
Grant, O Lord, that on this day (or this night) we may be preserved without sin.
Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy.
May Thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we trust in Thee. In Thee, Lord, with our trust, may we not be ashamed forever. Amen.
Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly (Sidorenko) recommended this prayer for blessing the house. This prayer was read several times a day during bombings, sieges, and searches.

Oh, Most Holy Virgin, Mother of the Lord of the Highest Powers, Heaven and Earth Queen, our city and country, omnipotent Intercessor! Accept this singing of praise and thanksgiving from us, Thy unworthy servants, and lift up our prayers to the Throne of God Thy Son, that He may be merciful to our unrighteousnesses and increase His grace to those who honor Your all-honorable name and with faith and love worship Your miraculous image. For we are not worthy of mercy from Him, unless You propitiate Him for us, O Lady, for all that is possible for You from Him is possible. For this reason we resort to You, as to our undoubted and speedy Intercessor: hear us praying to You, cover us with Your all-powerful protection and ask God the Son Your shepherd is zeal and vigilance for souls, your ruler is wisdom and strength, your judge is truth and impartiality, your mentor is reason and humility, your husband is love and harmony, obedience to children, patience to those who are offended, fear of God to those who are offended, complacency to those who mourn, self-control to those who rejoice: to us all the spirit of understanding and godliness, the spirit of mercy and meekness, the spirit purity and truth. Hey, Most Holy Lady, have mercy on Your weak people; Gather the scattered, guide those who have gone astray on the right path, support old age, bring up the youth with integrity, educate the young, and look upon us all with the care of Your merciful intercession; raise us up from the depths of sin and enlighten the eyes of our hearts to the vision of salvation; be merciful to us here and there, in the land of earthly advent and at the Last Judgment of Your Son; Having ceased in faith and repentance from this life, our fathers and brothers created eternal life with the Angels and with all the saints. For you are, Lady, the Glory of heaven and the Hope of earth, You, according to God, are our Hope and Intercessor of all who flow to You with faith. We therefore pray to You and to You, as the Almighty Helper, to ourselves and to each other and our whole lives we commit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

To whom will I call, O Lady, to whom will I resort in my sorrow; to whom will I bring my tears and sighs, if not to You, Queen of Heaven and earth: who will pluck me from the mire of sins and iniquities, if not You, O Mother of the Belly, Intercessor and Refuge of the human race. Hear my groaning, comfort me and have mercy in my sorrow, protect me in troubles and misfortunes, deliver me from bitterness and sorrows and all sorts of ailments and illnesses, from visible enemies and invisible, pacify the enmity of those who oppress me, so that I will be delivered from slander and human malice; So, free me from my flesh and vile customs. Cover me under the canopy of Your mercy, so that I may find peace and joy and cleansing from sins. I entrust myself to your maternal intercession; Give me Mother and hope, protection and help and intercession, joy and consolation and quick help in everything. O wonderful Lady! Everyone who flows to You does not leave without Your all-powerful help: for this reason, even though I am unworthy, I come running to You, so that I will be delivered from sudden and cruel death, the gnashing of teeth and eternal torment. I am honored to receive the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the tenderness of my heart I say to You: Rejoice, Mother of God, our zealous Representative and Intercessor, forever and ever. Amen.
