Technically there is a blessing at the end, but to me, he's not really feeling it as such.
His actions have resulted with him having to leave for a few years and obviously he's going to miss Rose as well as his mother and sister. And I think, just because I don't know him at all yet, that this scene is showing how he's grown up. He has regrets, wishes he had done things differently. And while I think his intentions are to earn his fathers approval and show he's capable of running the business, as well as make money so he can be in a better position to marry, are admiral, a lot can happen in two or three years. People can change, time can dull memories and feelings, and circumstances just have a habit of making things go off course. Somehow I don't think the patron saint of travellers will be enough to save him.
