Blessings of the day

May the blessing of the rain be on you—the soft sweet rain. May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring up, and shed their sweetness on the air. May the blessing of the great rains be on you, may they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean, and leave there many a shining pool where the blue of heaven shines, and sometimes a star.

In Your Home
May those walls be filled with laughter, may it reach from floor to rafter. May the roof keep out the rain, may sunshine warm each windowpane. And may the door be open wide to let the Good Lord's love inside.

For You
May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home. May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam. May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures. May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours!

May the morning sun stir you from the bed. May the winds of March move you on the road. May the rains of April renew you strength. May the flowers of May captivate your sight. May summer heat inflame your zeal. May autumn color stimulate your dreams. May the silver moon make you wiser yet. May you never be with yourself content.May Jesus and Mary keep you young; Full of life and laughter and a heavenly song. [edited adapted from A Blessing for Challenge by Fr. Andrew Greeley]
