Irish blessings for a memorial card

Old Irish blessings and the prayer to Our Lady of Knock, the ones asked for most often when a family wants something that sounds like home.

Vr-14

May there always be work

May there always be workfor your hands to do.May your purse alwayshold a coin or two.May the sun always shineon your window pane.May a rainbow be certainto follow each rain.May the hand of a friendalways be near you.May God fill your heartwith gladness to cheer you.

Vr-61

Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland

Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland,you gave hope to your people in a timeof distress and comforted them in sorrow.You have inspired countless pilgrims topray with confidence to your divine Son,remembering His promise: “Ask and youshall receive, seek and you shall find”.Help me to remember that we are allpilgrims on the road to heaven. Fill mewith love and concern for my brothersand sisters in Christ, especially thosewho live with me. Comfort me when Iam sick, lonely or depressed. Teach mehow to take part ever more reverentlyin the Holy Mass. Pray for me now,and at the hour of my death. Amen

Vr-68

May the Lord watch between me

May the Lord watch between meand thee, when we are absentfrom one another.Partings come to let us know,We love more deeply than we show,But love in death should let us see,What love in life should really be.You always waited for me,Anxious, if I were late,In winter at the window,In summer by the gate,Your thoughts were always for me,Not once did you forget,And so I know from Heaven above,You’ll be waiting for me yet.

Vr-70

May love and laughter light your days

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 worldwith joy that long endures.May all life’s passing seasonsbring the best to you and yours!
