I will not let you go, unless you bless me (Gen. 32:26)
Original language description
In this article I point out the possibilities of a blessing in a society which does not look favourably upon religious institutions and traditions. Across history and religions, people come to realize that they are only partially able to provide for their own well-being and secure the foundations of their lives. They therefore need hope, love, energy for a good life, and a protective and invigorating force: in other words, blessings. The Bible sees blessing as an expression of continuous divine action. By their willingness to be blessed, the blessed confess their trust in God and present their needs to Him. A blessing can be part of a ritual game that helps structure life in an unstructured reality. A blessing is a space for an encounter between God and people, but also for their encounter with tradition.
