Hmm, I just did a query to try to find a thread on this subject...but couldn't find any. Could it be that there has never been one?

Okay, all you Irish folks...for this coarse american decendent, could you please help me out and share some of your lilting, witty, and heartfelt blessings so that I may bestowe them upon other unsuspecting souls. Thank you :-) Kristine

Kristine,

There are literally hundres of blessings etc. Here are a few taken from the publication " Irish Blessings" with legends, poems and greetings, published by Greenwich House, New York. ISBN: 0-517-39989-X.

Enjoy

May the good saints protect yoou
And bless youo today
And may trouble ignore you
Each Step of the way.






May Joy and peace surround you,
Contentment latch your door
And happiness be with you now
And bless you evermore





These things I warmly wish for you
Someone to love
Some wrok to do
A Bit of sun
A bit of cheer
And a guardian angel always near




May the blessing of light be upon you
Light without and lioght within
And in all your comings and goings
may you ever have a kindly greeting
From them you meet along the road



Slainte
Jimmy

A Yank says to an Irish barman "can I have some of your wonderful Irish humor" The barman replies "would you like it dry or sparkling?"
