The inspiration for the hit London Weekend Television series of the same name, this is one confessional you’ll want to make a point of visiting Young Neil Boyd has just finished divinity school and has been newly ordained as a priest. His first post? St. Jude’s parish, a corner of London with a raucous congregation full of Irish immigrants. The flock is an odd pairing with the gentle Father Boyd, but he just might be both mad enough and tender enough to get through to them. Later adapted into a beloved British sitcom, Bless Me, Father is a humorous and sweet-natured look at Catholicism in the 1950s. Joining Boyd is the cantankerous, scheming, and brilliant Father Duddleswell, a man who is willing to do anything to make sure the Lord’s will be done, and Mrs. Pring, the sharp-tongued housekeeper who both coddles and cajoles her priestly family of two. If the church needs money, Duddleswell will place a bet to get it. If a Catholic wants to marry a Protestant . . . well, maybe he won’t go that far. Father Neil’s adventures with his parishioners are sure to delight readers of all creeds.

When asked why he says "bless you" after young Anna's sneeze, her father tells a story from Jesus's childhood which shows that blessings are gifts from God that people who love you can give.

A bedtime prayer of blessing on the world and all that's in it.

The life of man has been ordained to glorify the Father. To obtain this we must live the confession of our purpose while pursuing its manifestation. Consider the condition we find ourselves in as we bind ourselves to the physical house of God. Our lives must cry out to the Father Bless Me.
