This is the reason you can go to the church to obtain a bottle or Holy Water, or purchase anointing oils in the Catholic shops. Laity cannot perform "sacraental" blessings.

Horsefeathers! I bless my family, my food, my work every day in the name of Jesus. I'll agree that I can't operate in a liturgical manner, but I can sure bless my own. Leo was well within his rights to bless his own house and incurred no blame in doing so. Laity not allowed to bless? Horsefeathers! I bless my family, my food, my work every day in the name of Jesus.

She was an elderly lady who had died there many years before. Sounds, odors (pleasant) and passive activities such as door closings were regular but when my elderly granmother came over the activities became slightly more aggressive. A picture fell and a glass shelf broke. At that time the church wasn't very involved with these "spiritual activities" our local priest was very amused. We did contact a priest who was involved in "deliverance" through the Charasmatic Renewal and he suggested we take holy water and a sprig of evergreen and bless each room saying something like " Spirit be at rest in the name of Jesus". We did it and no noises, odors or activities since. The house was torn down in 2007. I had a house in the 70’s that was inhabited by what was explained as a a “friendly spirit”.
