bless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'praise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bottle opener cheaper?' is the wordplay.
'opener' indicates taking the first letters.
'cheaper?' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in another clue).
The first letter of 'bottle' is 'b'.
'b'+'less'='BLESS'

'or honour for making a' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
