Pilgrim Blessings
The Pilgrim Blessing
Follow the Passage, the Passage of Time.
Reach for the stars through the Stones in a Line.
Gnow you will find the Secret sublime
With your feet on the Path of the Pilgrim
Divine.
The Pilgrim's Journey
Here begins the Journey
Now begins the Day.
With one step on the Road
My Soul is on the Way.
An Irish Blessing
May the road rise with you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Pilgrim at the Well
Deep in a cavern, so deep underground
past luminous lichen a source there is found.
Peer so deep, so deep in the well
to see there your vision, the truth for to tell.
When you have drunk there, so deep of the well
follow the sound, so clear as a bell -
Heaven's pure harmony, ringing all round.
The Blessing of Lluc
Set out! You were born for the road.
Set out! You have a meeting to keep
Where? With whom? You don't yet know.
Perhaps with yourself.
There is a tradition here of a Black Madonna, La Morenata.
Carpe Diem
A vien I com, le monde est solé
A vien I com, et carpe diem
Venissimo, le sol est pondé
Venissimo, et carpe diem
Aimez le son, le chant est libré
Aimez le son, et carpe diem
Canta tu, si tous sont libré
Canta tu, et carpe diem
Gaudete Peregrina
Gaudete et carpe diem
Dite à moi l'aqua vita
Dite à moi et carpe diem
Another Irish Blessing
May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two
May the sun always shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
