Irish House Toast:

May joy and peace surround you,
Contentment latch your door;
And happiness be with you now,
And bless you evermore.

Irish House Blessing:

We believe in living deeply,
Laughing often and loving always.
We believe we were brought together
To support and care for each other.
We believe that everyone's feelings count,
And that the uniqueness of each of us
Strengthens all of us.
We believe in the power of Forgiving to heal
And the power of love to carry us through.
We believe in one another,
In this family,
In this house.
Failte!

GOD BLESS THE CORNERS OF THIS HOUSE AND BE THE LINTEL BLESSED.
AND BLESS THE HEARTH AND BLESS THE BOARD AND BLESS EACH PLACE OF REST.
BLESS EACH DOOR THAT OPENS WIDE TO STRANGERS AND TO KIN.
AND BLESS EACH CRYSTAL WINDOWPANE THAT LETS THE SUNSHINE IN.
AND BLESS THE ROOFTREE OVERHEAD AND EVERY STURDY WALL.
THE PEACE OF MAN, THE PEACE OF GOD, THE PEACE OF LOVE TO ALL.
Irish Home Blessing


May your troubles be less,
May your blessings be more,
May nothing but happiness come through your door.
