It has always been my understanding that a ‘blessing’ is placing someone or something under the care of God. However, I am confused when someone prays to bless God.
St. Francis used to have the brothers say a short prayer when they entered the chapel: “We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all your churches in the whole world, and we bless you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.”
What exactly does this mean? How can we ask God to bless Himself and why would we do that?
I am sure someone out there in cyberland can help clear up my confusion. Thanks in advance.
