how do i bless somebody's name?

captain howdy asks...


How? How do I bless somebody's name? Do I need to get some Holy Water?

Why does His name need to be blessed if it's already holy, anyway?


Captain Howdy,

"Holy" means "set apart".
"Blessed" means "revered".

We have a choice in how we approach God. We choose either to be reverent or to be profane.

When one says "Blessed be His holy name", what they are saying is that they are making a choice, that they hold God's name to be of great value. They are saying that God's name is worthy of reverence.
