ABOUT IRELAND　

Sure a little bit of Heaven fell from out the sky one day

We are the sons and daughters of Ireland, proud heirs of an ancient legacy. We’ve settled every corner of the globe, driven from our homeland by famine and oppression, or simply by the restless spirit that’s our birthright. Wherever we go, we bring with us a love of freedom, a melancholy humor, a biting wit, and a golden tongue. But regardless of where destiny may take us, we’re linked to the land of our ancestors by an ethereal thread that binds the hearts and reminds us always that we are a unique people. We are the Irish.

☘

IRISH CELTIC PRAYERS

the sorrows revealed, I lay them at your feet
and in doing so, lay my head to rest.

☘

Through the dark hours of this night
protect and surround us

Forgive the ill that we have done
Forgive the pride that we have shown
Forgive the words that have caused harm

and rise refreshed to do your will.

This night and every night grant to me peace
This night and every night grant to me rest
This night and every night grant to me grace

IRISH BLESSINGS

A family of Irish birth will argue and fight, but let a shout come from without,
and see them all unite.

A wish for a friend: 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!

Always remember to forget the things that make you sad
But never forget to remember the things that make you glad.

Dear Lord,
Give me a few friends
who will love me for what I am,
and keep ever burning
before my vagrant steps
the kindly light of hope…
And though I come not within sight
of the castle of my dreams,
teach me to be thankful for life,
and for time’s olden memories
that are good and sweet.
And may the evening’s twilight
find me gentle still.

Deep peace of the running waves to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the smiling stars to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you.
Deep peace of the son of Peace to you.

Each petal on the Shamrock brings an Irish wish your way. Good Health, Good Luck and Happiness each and every day.
