For Your Use: Irish Blessings

by Jane Stahl

Thanks to guest writer Sandra Williams for collecting the following Irish blessings for our use on "St Patrick's Day." Let us know your favorite and perhaps how you celebrate the "Luck of the Irish." 

"Here’s to a long life and a happy one. A quick death and an easy one. A cold pint and another one."

"May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you’re dead. May your heart be always full, and may your glass be never empty."

"May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, angels protect you and heaven accept you."

"May we live as long as we want and never want as long as we live."

"To the nights we’ll never remember, with friends we’ll never forget."

"May your troubles be less and your blessings be more. May nothing but happiness come through your doors."
