And Now for a Word from our Sponsor:

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.
May the Sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Amen

Still in the classic Irish prayer tradition:

May those who love us, love us;
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if he doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.

For the more Scripturally minded:

The LORD bless you and keep you,
The LORD let His face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.
The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26, NAB.

What, Catholics reading the Bible? Horrors!

And as my great-grandparents said in Co. Leitrim:

"May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead"
AMEN!

Lord, grant that I may see thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
follow thee more nearly
