Sanctify, make holy (5)

I believe the answer is:

bless

This clue is a double definition.

'sanctify' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'make holy' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for bless that I've seen before include "Order of service" , "Give benediction" , "Approve of" , "Glorify" , "Sanctify" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
