May your troubles be less
And your blessing be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door |
May you have all the happiness
And luck that life can hold-
And at the end of your rainbows
May you find a pot of gold. |
These things,
I warmly wish for you-
Someone to love,
Some work to do,
A bit of o’ sun
A bit o’ cheer
And a guardian angel
Always near. |
May the good saints protect you
And bless you today
And may troubles ignore you
Each step of the way |
May your blessings out number
The Shamrocks that grow
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go. |
May this luck of the Irish
be always,
at hand.
And good friends always near you-
May each and every coming day
Bring some special joy to cheer you |
Irish Wish:
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Upon rising in the morning...
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.
While dressing...
Lord, clothe me with the robes of innocence.
During thunder and lightning...
O Lord, be between us and harm,
and protect us from the harm of the world. |
An Old Irish Blessing
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
From Saint Patrick's Breastplate
Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Christ where I lie
Christ where I sit
Christ where I arise
Christ in the heart of every man
who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man
who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me
Salvation is of the Lord.
