Blessed are the ....?

[Aoi Magi]

blessed = having the grace of god, or garnering the favours from god.

Thanks for the reply, but haven't you just replaced the word "blessed" with "grace".

For the second part of your reply , what on earth does "garnering the favours" mean? We seem to be further away, not closer to an explanation.

Not quite! The concept is God controls everything and isn't someone you'd want to piss off. Garnering his favours imply that if he is pleased with you, he'd help you with the problems in your life, prevent bad and harmful occurrences, e.t.c

You can easily imagine why you'd want to be on the good-side or garner favours of your superiors, like your teachers or boss, right? That is the same concept with God.
