To bless means to say good things. We have to bless one
another constantly. Parents need to bless their children, children their
parents, husbands their wives, wives their husbands, friends their
friends. In our society, so full of curses, we must fill each place we
enter with our blessings. We forget so quickly that we are God's beloved
children and allow the many curses of our world to darken our hearts.
Therefore we have to be reminded of our belovedness and remind others of
theirs. Whether the blessing is given in words or with gestures, in a
solemn or an informal way, our lives need to be blessed lives.
Henri Nouwen
