It was a very holy moment when Rev. Bacon, retired from the Circular Church and Vietnam Chaplain, prayed over him and even holier when the Priest came up prayed over him and gave him communion. I wish I could film the light in Fin's face and the words that come out of his mouth. He told me after the Father (he blessed me too)left that he thought the priest did not know it, but that he was a saint - a great mirror, don't you think?
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
