AN IRISH BENEDICTION

God of all graciousness
we gather together as your people
to praise you and to thank you.
You have sent amongst us
as an ambassador for Christ
Patrick, our apostle and guide.
At this time in our faith pilgrimage
may he be the source of our strengthening
our light in darkness and our sure guide
our steadfast footing in times of change
and the source of all our encouraging.

AMEN
