Daily Pastoral #49

Here’s an (unattributed) Irish All Hallows Eve blessing for you this Allhallowtide week…

At all Hallow's Tide, may God keep you safe
From goblin and pooka and black-hearted stranger,
From harm of the water and hurt of the fire,
From thorns of the bramble, from all other danger,
From Will O' The Wisp haunting the mire;
From stumbles and tumbles and tricksters to vex you,
May God in His mercy, this week protect you.

As Ever,
Jonas
