BENEDICTION

An ancient Gaelic Blessing:



"Deep peace of the running wave to you, Deep peace of the flowing aire to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you, Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.
May God make safe to you each steep. May God make open to you each pass.
May God make clear to you each road. May God take you in the clasp of his own two hands. 
Amen."

"All by himself he stretches out the heavens
   and strides on the waves of the sea.
He designed the Big Dipper and Orion,

We'll never comprehend all the great things he does;
   his miracle-surprises can't be counted."

- Job 9: 8-10
