| Ruth 2:4 | And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee. | With you. This blessing the Church still adopts in her service. (Worthington) --- It was customary to bless one another during harvest, Psalm 128:5, 8. (Calmet) --- Booz did, as Cato advises, Ne opera parcas visere; "See what is going forward." The master's eye makes the servants diligent. (Haydock). |
