Our Power to Bless

With Rev. Suzelle Lynch

Wise teacher Henri Nouwen says that to give a blessing is to affirm another person’s belovedness — to touch their original goodness. In our tense times, when we are angry with so much that is happening politically, economically and climate-wise, the practice of blessing can bring much-needed healing.
