I think that "venerable" is a better translation of prepodobny than "blessed". "Blessed" corresponds rather to blazhenny.

Google Translate interestingly insists on "reverend" for "преподобный." Must be a glitch. |

Prepodobny/prepodobnaya is the customary title given to monastic saints who lived to old age, but the word simply means venerable (worthy of reverence). In English, the term venerable old XXXX has been in use for many centuries. |

And how would you translate святитель? Hierarch. Cвятитель is the usual inscription and liturgical title for bishop-saints. |
