AN
IRISH BLESSING
May the blessing of light be
upon you, light on the outside and light on the inside. With God's sunlight
shining on you, may your heart glow with warmth like a turf fire that welcomes
friends and strangers alike.
May the light of the Lord
shine from your eyes like a candle in the window, welcoming the weary traveller.
May the blessing of God's
soft rain be on you, falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul with the
sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the
winds of Heaven bless you, carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean,
sparkling after, in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God's
earth be on you and as you walk the roads, may you always have a kind word for
those you meet.
May you understand the
strength and power of God in a thunderstorm in winter, the quiet beauty of
creation and the calm of a summer sunset.
And may you come to realize
that insignificant as you may seem in this great universe, you ARE an important part of God's plan.
May He watch over you and
keep you safe from harm.
(Listen to this Blessing, interpreted by Roma Downey,
on my Timeline.) Lyrics by: Phil Coulter
