I don’t know how he could give Bendiction it is a Sacred Blessing? where GOD is Present and he doesn’t believe that... Why would he Be there other than Pride and that is the Root of all SIN>.I am Truely confused with this being held in a Catholic Church and Mocking the Presence of Christ with their Tomfoolery..
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
2 Tim 4:4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
A benediction can also be a short prayer, something like “Go in peace.”
