Lord God, Creator of light, at the rising of your sun each morning, let the greatest of all lights – your love – rise, like the sun, within my heart.
Lord God, Creator of light, at the rising of your sun each morning, let the greatest of all lights – your love – rise, like the sun, within my heart.
Your mercy is on those who fear you throughout all generations You have shown strength with your arm. You have scattered the proud and their hearts and fantasies. You have put down the mighty from their seat And have lifted up the powerless.
You crown the year with your goodness, abundance flows in your steps. In the pastures of the wilderness it flows. The hills are filled with joy, the meadows covered with floods. The valleys are decked with wheat.
Joseph of dreams, guard well the poor.Be a strong bar upon the door.Be a broad window all day longto let in sun and wild bird song.Set a new loaf upon the boardto fill the poor man’s scanty hoard.With strength and patience bless the livesof all poor men and poor men’s wives.Listen to poor men’s children

May there always be work for your hands to do.May your purse always hold a coin or two.May the sun always shine upon your window pane.May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.May the hand of a friend always be near youMay God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. Irish blessing
Blessed is the one who follows not the counsel of the wicked, but delights in the law of the Lord. That one is like a tree planted near running water, that yields its fruit in due season; whose leaves never fade. Psalm 1
