An Irish Blessing / Happy Saint Patrick's Day

[Oli]

My friends, a very Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all.

I wish you not
a path devoid of clouds,
Nor a life
on a bed of roses,
Not that you
might never need regret,
Nor that you
should never feel pain.

No, that is not my wish for you.

My wish for you is:

That you might be brave
in times of trial,
When others lay crosses on your shoulders,
When mountains must be climbed
And chasms are to be crossed;

When Hope scarce can shine through.

That every gift God gave you
might grow along with you,

And let you give the gift of joy to all those who care for you.

That you may always have a friend
who is worthy of that name.

Whom you can trust,
Who helps you in times of sadness,

Who will defy the storms of life at your side.

One more wish I have for you:

That in every hour of Joy and Pain
You will feel God close to you.

This is my wish for you,
and all those who care for you.

This is my hope for you,
now and forever.

McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, he started to leave.

"S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. "What was that all about?"

"Nothing," he replied, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."

Did St. Patrick have SRS?

FYI, "Patty" is a woman's name.
"Paddy" is short for Patrick.

I would like to wish each and every one of you a "Happy Saint Patrick's Day!" Hope you all are wearing green, having corn beef and green cabbage. May you all find a pot of gold and meet a leprechaun. I know a lot of you will be going to parties and drinking all that green beer, have a good time. Just remember not to drink and drive. May the luck of the Irish be with you!

I just watched a program on the History Channel, according to them, there never were any snakes in Ireland.
He introduced christianity to Ireland, is the originator of the Celtic cross the circle behind the cross represents the sun. Pretty interesting program, they also detailed the prejudice the Irish suffered in the early days of the US.

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind always be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face,the rains fall soft upon your fields and,

until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His Hand
