A Blessing (I learned the first part of this blessing from the Rabbi who taught me Hebrew and the second part from an Irish priest) May God be gracious to you and kindly to you; May His face shine upon you and bring you deep and abiding peace; May He guard you and guide you every step of the way; May the road rise before you; May the wind be at your back; May the rain fall softly on your land; May God hold you and all whom you love in the palm of His hand; In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen! Father James T. Griffin, SJ
