Prayers

By William Wordsworth I pledge to you today A hallowed place within my heart is where you’ll always stay. Wordsworth – Intimations of Immortality What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory […]
Wishing you a rainbow For sunlight after showers— Miles and miles of Irish smiles For golden happy hours— Shamrocks at your doorway For luck and laughter too, And a host of friends that never ends Each day your whole life through!
To the Living, I am gone, To the sorrowful, I will never return; To the angry, I was cheated. But to the happy, I am at peace. To the faithful, I have never left. Talk to me, and I will hear, your prayers, they comfort me, your laughter makes me laugh, but don’t weep for […]
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. […]
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on […]
Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.
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.
When I start my tour of duty God, Wherever crime may be, as I walk the darkened streets alone, Let me be close to thee. Please give me understanding with both the young and old. Let me listen with attention until their story’s told. Let me never make a judgment in a rash or callous […]
May Christ support us all the day long, till the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and holy rest and peace at the last. Amen.
by Reinhold Niebuhr God grant me the Serenity To Accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can, Wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking as He did, This sinful world as it […]
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
When I must leave you for a little while please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years but start out bravely with a gallant smile; and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same, feed not your loneliness on […]
May the joys of today Be those of tomorrow. The goblets of life Hold no dregs of sorrow.
May your heart be warm and happy With the lilt of Irish laughter Every day in every way And forever and ever after.
May the joys of today Be those of tomorrow. The goblets of life Hold no dregs of sorrow.
May brooks and trees and singing hills Join in the chorus too. And every gentle wind that blows Send happiness to you.
Said in the morning when rising… Christ be with me, be after me, be before me, and be at my right and left hand. May everything I do be for Christ.
Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
May the hand of a friend always be near you, And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
May you live long, Die happy, And rate a mansion in heaven.
May the blessings of light be upon you, Light without and light within. And in all your comings and goings, May you ever have a kindly greeting From them you meet on the road.
Always remember to forget The things that made you sad. But never forget to remember The things that made you glad. Always remember to forget The friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember Those that have stuck by you. Always remember to forget The troubles that passed away. But never forget to remember […]
Walls for the wind, and a roof for the rain, and drinks beside the fire – laughter to cheer you and those you love near you, and all that your
May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
May you live as long as you want, And never want as long as you live.
May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you, And heaven accept you.
