Awesome video, thanks for sharing it. I will bless everyone I pass today and everyday from now on!
Dilys.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I’ve seen this before but haven’t looked at it in a while and is exactly what I need today 🙂
So easy to be offended or cross when someone judges us wrongly but so much better to bless them instead …because they need it.
Thank you Diane, you are so right, and blessing others blesses us also! Please visit http://www.gentleartofblessing for more inspiration!
So beautiful. So simple. So powerful. Thank you.
Wow. How I needed this. Thank you.
His book is great too!
Perfect start to my day. Thank you Evan.
It seems so easy to do, if we just pause, and raise our thoughts to the goodness a day can bring.
Thank you fro sharing this beautiful video. A great reminder for how to begin each day.
Dear Libby, and if you would like more to start your days, please visit http://www.gentleartofblessin.org for audio blessings read by Pierre, spiritual texts from various traditions, a monthly blog by Pierre, etc. etc. We also now have a Facebook group on the Gentle Art of Blessing where members find and post inspirational messages and images.
These words are written by Pierre Pradervand, and are expanded upon in his book, “The Gentle Art of Blessing”, a lovely book and one I turn to often. Mr. Pradervand also has several articles in the Chstian Science Journal and Sentinel. They can be accessed with the search function on JSH-online.com
Hi Kathleen,
Pierre writes a monthly blog on his site, http://www.gentleartofblessing.org, a site which also offers blessings read by him, spiritual texts from various traditions, blessings for various situations, etc. etc. A good site to visit often! Thanks for your comments.
I should add that the words from the video can be found in the December 1999 Sentinel.

wow.
Great job everybody! I couldn’t open the video this morning but you have given me more options. Bless you one and all!
Hi Patty, if you still have trouble opening the video, please check our site, http://www.gentleartofblessing.org, where you will find it as well as a lot of other inspiring material.
Inspiring isn’t the word for it. For years I have been knocking the Doctors and Nurses for what I thought to be criminal acts on mankind until I saw this video. The same goes for those who are members of KKK, THE NAZIS, ISIS, THE TALIBAN. For they think that ther’re right. They think that God led them in these paths. They look upon themselves as doing a great thing for mankind and only this video shows how blessing them could awake them from these wrong concepts. I applaud you, Evan Melenbachner for posting this video. It blesses all of us.
Thank you, Evan, for sharing Pierre’s message.
Pierre was my classmate in CS class instruction
in 1971.
The other respondents to this message today
are right!!
The CS periodicals,including CS monitor,(although probably not archived from 1980s),
are full of Pierre’s contributions.
I invite readers to get his book(on Amazon)
and to check out his website!
Blessings to you and all!
Thank you, Clare, for .your nice comments. On our main site, you will see some new materials, a monthly blog by Pierre, spiritual texts from various traditions, positive news, blessings for specific situations, etc. We also have a Facebook group where inspirational messages are regularly posted. Again, thank you!
Thank you for the link Nancy.
Thanks so Evan. This is a great reminder to do our duty to bless all mankind. Yes the Christian Science Monitor was meant to bless all mankind.
I too have read and enjoyed Pierre Pradervand’s book as well as his CS articles. He used to do seminars, not sure if he still does. Great book! Thanks Evan for sharing! I so enjoy your blog!
Hi Sylvia, yes Pierre still does seminars, but mostly in Switzerland, and in French. He is, however, occasionally invited to speak and do workshops for English speaking audiences. Please check out http://www.gentleartofblessing.org, where you will find a monthly blog by Pierre, audio blessings read by him, spiritual texts for various traditions, positive news, blessings for all sorts of situations, and new materials posted on a regular basis. We also started a Facebook group, The Gentle Art of Blessing where inspirational images and words are posted regularly by members – please join us!!
Perfect, a great way to think about seeing God, Truth, in everything and everyone around us. Thanks so much.
