A modern Irish blessing


"May God protect you…
From scary nights,
from hasty flights;
From too much food,
from a somber mood;

From ringing bells,
from self-made hells;
From sickish pains,
from dishonest gains;
From excessive needs,
from tricky deeds;
From foolish quarrels,
from resting on laurels;
From silly fears,
from idle tears;
From forgotten lines,
And from all bad times.
We pray, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
- Irish blessing (by Fr. Andrew Greeley)
