A small collection of familiar Irish blessings, prayers and proverbs:
.
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine 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.
— Irish Blessing
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
— Irish Proverb
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
— Irish Proverb
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow,
and may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
— Irish Blessing
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
— An Irish Prayer
