Blessing of St. Patrick

Postcard Blessing of St. Patrick

The Lord be before you, to show you the right path.

May the Lord be beside you, to embrace you
and to protect you from danger.

May the Lord be among you to receive you
when you are in danger of falling.

May the Lord be within you to comfort you in your sorrow.

May He surround you like a protective wall,
when others fall over you.

The Lord be above you to bless you.

So may God bless you today, tomorrow, and forever.
Amen.
