In the Episcopal Church, priests can give blessings but deacons cannot.
So when my wife is leading morning prayer when our part-time priest has her Sunday off, she will say, “Let us all ask God to bless us” and go into a pray that gets ratified with an amen. We figure it gets the job done because the big guy doesn’t turn down such requests.
No, I do not know how many deacons are lawyers in their day job.

Some corporation must be working on copyrighting blessings so they can charge for them.

I’m sure someone does object, but I wouldn’t mind if Pope Francis blessed me.

Now, even same sex couples can be blessed. As long as they are just good friends andnothing more that that! Seems okay to me.
