  1. Old Irish Prayers Said When Going on a Journey

    Share Share Post
    May the sweet name of Jesus
    Be lovingly 'scribed,
    On my heart inside.
    O Mother of Jesus,
    May I be with Him,
    And Jesus with me.
    May a binding of love,
    That nothing can sever,
    Be between us for ever
    Amen.
    In the name of the Father for success
    And of the Son who suffered pain,
    May Mary and her Son be with me on my way,
    O Mary meet at the shore
    Let not my soul go by thee,
    Great is my fear of thy Son,
    In Communion of Saints may we be,
    Listening to the voices of the angels.
