A Prayer For 2019
May The Road Rise Up To Meet You
May the wind be always at your back
May the rains fall soft upon you
And the sun shine warm upon your face
And true be the hearts that love you
Peace ever with you and until we meet again
May the path light up before you
And the clouds forsake the skies above
May the warmth of sun surround you
And the stars shine bright to guide you home
And true be the hearts that love you
Peace ever with you and until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand
May He hold you evermore
History of this Irish Blessing
The Irish blessing is a prayer, originally written in Gaelic. “May the road rise to meet you” is actually mistranslated quite a bit from the original Gaelic language it was written in. “Rise” actually translates more accurately to “succeed.” So the text means, "May you succeed on your road.”
The author of the prayer isn’t known for certain, although many attribute it to St. Patrick, as it is similar to his other writings.
The ancient Irish were said to have a deep appreciation for nature. Perhaps the beautiful scenery they were blessed to be surrounded by helped them connect with God and early Christianity. The wind, the sun, and the rain are included in this particular blessing. Celtic literature is famed for using images of nature and everyday life to speak of how God interacts with His people.
