Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "blest" in modern everyday writing instead of "blessed". In most current English, "blessed" is the normal form; "blest" sounds old-fashioned or poetic. Also, do not use "blest" as the past tense of "bless"; the correct form is "blessed" (e.g., "The priest blessed the child").

holy; made sacred

the blest Virgin
|the blest sacrament
|the blest saints
|the blest dead
Mga kasingkahulugan
holy (The most common modern word for something religiously pure or sacred.)
|
sacred (Emphasizes being set apart for religious use or deep respect.)
Mga kasalungat
profane (Describes things that are not holy and may even show a lack of respect for religious ideas.)
