The story of St. Patrick reveals his testimony of Christ and his influence on Christian faith in Ireland in the 5th century. Irish prayers from this time period include references to nature and God's blessing for daily living. The words of blessing offer faith and hope to encourage us along the journey of life!

May The Road Rise Up To Meet You
(Traditional Gaelic blessing)
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
A House Blessing
God bless the corners of this house
And be the lintel blessed.
Bless the hearth, the table too
And bless each place of rest.
Bless each door that opens wide
To stranger, kith and kin;
Bless each shining window-pane
That lets the sunshine in.
Bless the roof-tree up above
Bless every solid wall.
The peace of Man, the peace of love,
The peace of God on all.
