Thanks, Pat. I absolutely love this Gaelic blessing.  It's so beautiful.

Subject: [Sundaycommunity] A holiday wish . . .

I am hoping to see most of you later this afternoon as we gather around our electronic devices for another zoom celebration.  I am thankful that we have this option to share at this holy time of the year, and realizing that this does cut down on the socializing a bit, wanted to send a message that all would receive.

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 gentle night to you.
Deep peace of the Prince of Peace to you.

(A Gaelic blessing.)

Those of you who are FB friends have seen this - without the last line, which is very specifically Christian.  As always I am not always prepared but I wanted to include this in our liturgy.  With the last minute offer from Fr. Prakash to celebrate for us this evening I held back.

Until later . . .

All the blessings of the season, Pat
