*mutual encouragement and hope*
"We...
encourage by enjoying and blessing one another. When we delight in each
other, take joy in each other, we bless, and this is a powerful means
of encouraging a friend, colleague or young person. As a parent, for
example, I cannot free my sons to discern for themselves unless I bless
them -- delight in them quite apart from whether they fulfill my
expectations. And to the extent that I do, I know that I strengthen each
of them in his capacity to be his own person before God."
( Listening to God in Times of Choice p. 137)
