I therefore urge our priests and deacons to exercise what the document calls for, a “prudent and fatherly discernment,” by exercising caution in any given situation that what is sought by such blessings cannot be interpreted either by those who receive them or by those who witness them as something other than a simple blessing. At the same time, I urge our priests to exercise pastoral charity by receiving and welcoming all God’s children who seek God’s daily assistance for their lives with a sincere heart.
