MERRY MEET!

the nurturing peace of the womb of the chapel
A CELTIC BLESSING

Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air 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 the road rise to meet you;
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
May the rains fall softly upon your fields.


Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
