This is the only expression which cannot replace "blessed" in the dialogue. To be "blessed (to have something or someone)" indicates the one is very fortunate, or lucky (to have the opportunity to have someone). "To be blessed", in the religious or ceremonial sense, should not be taken literally in this context. Although "blessed" and "revered" can be synonyms, they are not in this case.
"Lucky" is synonymous with "blessed" in this context.
"Fortunate" is synonymous with "blessed" in this context.
