To bless something means to confer holiness on it. In Science of Mind, holiness is synonymous with wholeness. Wholeness is the foundation of reality. As such, wholeness cannot be granted to anything or anyone. When we use the word bless, we mean to recognize that which is already true. “I bless you,” then, says, “I see you in your spiritual nature.”

This month, when we focus on gratitude and respect for the diverse nations of the earth, we can practice looking through the lens of wholeness, saying to ourselves, “I bless…” whatever is before us. The practice of silent blessing is particularly helpful when reading the news, social media streams, and when having challenging conversations. I use it to call me back to my conviction that back of all creation is divine completeness.
