Growing up in a Catholic family we used words like "Grace" and "Bless" on a frequent basis.
I grew up with a sense of what the word "Bless" meant but did not have an operating definition until I asked a priest named Jake Folgio.
He offered this definition: To "bless" something is to set it aside for a special purpose.
I am still not entirely happy with the definition but I am all too prone to get tangled up in words and logical puzzles. But for now, that is the definition I am running with.
May every reader have many blessed moment in the next twenty-four hours.
And may you also Joe.
ReplyDeleteI always thought of blessed as invoking joy, or to make happy.
