Deep Peace, an old Gaelic prayer

Let's not forget that St. Patrick's Day isn't just about green beer and parties. I thought I'd share something a little deeper than what our shallow society celebrates. Enjoy!

Deep peace, pure gold of the sun to you.
Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you.
Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you.
Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you.
Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you.
Deep peace, pure gray of the dew to you.
Deep peace, of the running wave to you.
Deep peace, of the whispering trees to you.
Deep peace, of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace, of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace, of the gentle night to you.
Deep peace, of the shining stars to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace, of the Son of Peace to you.
Deep peace, of Christ, the light of the world to you.
Deep peace of Christ to you.
