sanctifier

Il n’encourageait en aucune façon la dissipation, et sa conduite ne fut entachée d’aucune ombre de légèreté mondaine ; il trouvait son plaisir dans des scènes de bonheur innocent, et il sanctifiait, par sa présence, les réunions sociales.
He gave no license to dissipation, and no shadow of worldly levity marred His conduct; yet He found pleasure in scenes of innocent happiness and by His presence sanctioned the social gathering.
