Blessed

2 : of or enjoying happiness; specifically : enjoying the bliss of heaven

But where man is in mind it is used in the sense of “happy” or “favored,” and most frequently so in the Psalms and the Gospels, as for example, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked”

Shaking itself loose from all thoughts of outward good, it becomes the express symbol of a happiness identified with pure character.

The Christian word blessed is full of the light of heaven. It sternly throws away from itself every hint of the Stoic's asserted right of suicide as a refuge from human ills, and emphasizes something which thrives on trial and persecution, which glories in tribulation, which not only endures but conquers the world, and expects its crown in heaven.
