Irish Wedding Blessing
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon the fields.
May the light of friendship guide your paths together.
May the laughter of children grace the halls of your home.
May the joy of living for one another
trip a smile from your lips, a twinkle from your eye.
And when eternity beckons,
at the end of a life heaped high with love,
May the good Lord embrace you
with the arms that have nurtured you
the whole length of your joy-filled days.
May the gracious God hold you both
in the palm of His hands.
And, today, may the Spirit of Love
find a dwelling place in your hearts.
Amen.
What is called 'Irishness' can be
understood only in relation to the homeland. There is a saying that you
can take a boy out of Ireland but you cannot take Ireland out of the
boy. In the long run, I believe geography counts for more than genes.
-E. Estyn Evans (Irish Folk Ways)
Life does not cease to be funny when people die anymore than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
-G. B. Shaw
In Ireland, for a few years more, we have
a popular imagination that is fiery and magnificent and tender, so that
those of us who wish to write start with a chance that is not given to
writers in places where the springtime of the local life has been
forgotten and the harvest is a memory only, and the straw has been
turned into bricks.
-John Millington Synge
Love is never defeated, and I could add, the history of Ireland proves it.
-Pope John Paul II (1979)
My love is like a cabbage
That's easy cut in two.
The leaves I'll give to others
But the heart I'll keep for you.
-Tyrone (Oral poem)
Men always want to be a woman's first
love. Women have a more subtle instinct: What they like is to be a
man's last romance.
-Oscar Wilde
