Another Closing Blessing

May God bless you and keep you, and cause his countenance to shine upon you, and be gracious to you, and for
all the days of your life, may God grant you peace. Amen.

From Nan Witcomb
Australian poet and radio personality

May your friendship and trust endure

and strengthen through the winter of

your lives. And may your love be
renewed as surely as the blossoms

adorn the trees each spring. May your
understanding of each other grow

with your love until the wonder of

each night and day become a lifetime
of happiness together.

An Ancient Celtic Blessing
May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace. May your troubles grow few as your blessings
increase. May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past. May your hands

be forever clasped in friendship and your hearts forever joined in love. Your lives are very special, God has
blessed you in many ways. May his blessings rest upon you and fill all your coming days.

Traditional Celtic Blessing
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your home, the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And the light of friendship guide your paths together,

May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

May green be the grass you walk on. May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you. May true be the hearts that love you.

May the Spirit of Love always find a dwelling place in your hearts

And when eternity beckons, at the end of a life heaped high with love,
May you know the hand of a friend was always near.
