Blessing is a divine and life-giving action, the source of which is the Father; his blessing is both word and gift. When applied to man, the word "blessing" means adoration and surrender to his Creator in thanksgiving. ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/282/ CCC 1078]) | |||
