Lord�s Prayer in Irish

�r nAthair at� ar neamh,
Our Father, who art in Heaven

go naofar d�ainm;
hollowed be thy Name

go dtaga do r�ocht;
Thy kingdom come

go nd�antar do thoil ar an talamh
Thy will be done on earth

mar a dh�antar ar neamh.
as it is in Heaven

�r n-ar�n laeth�il tabhair d�inn inniu;
give us this day our daily bread

agus maith d�inn �r bhfiacha
and forgive us our trespasses

mar a mhaithimidne d�r bhf�ichi�na f�in;
as we forgive those who trespass against us

agus n� lig sinn i gcath�,
and lead us not into temptation

ach saor sinn � olc. Amen.
but deliver us from evil. Amen.



The Serenity Prayer

[God] grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference

[A Dhia], bronn orm suaimhneas chun glacadh leis na ruda� nach f�idir liom a athr�, misneach chun na ruda� a athr� is f�idir liom, agus ciall chun an difr�ocht a aithint.



Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned

Maith dom, a Athair, mar gur pheacaigh m�


Rest In Peace

In Irish, the equivalent to �Rest in Peace� literally means �May his/her sould be on God�s right-hand side�.

Ar dheis D� go raibh a anam (if it�s a male deceased)
/err yesh day guh rev ah ahnam/

Ar dheis D� go raibh a hanam (female)
/err yesh day guh rev ah hahnam/

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul�s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man�s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven�s joys, O bright Heaven�s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
