Pray for Ireland on St. Patrick's Day 2007



Once again I have created a list of ideas to help individuals prayer for Ireland (Republic and North). I solicited input from the readers of Relevant Magazine Online message board and got a few response which I incorperated this year. So here it is:

Irish youth to discover the real life in Christ.
  • Grace given to Irish Christians to authentically represent Jesus.

  • Peace that will bring healing from wrongs and injustices of the past in the Republic and Northern Ireland.

  • Christian workers. Irish men and women to answer the call to service.

  • For the Irish to rise up in the Holy Spirit to impact their nation and the world.


Lord's prayer in Irish Gaelic:

Ár n-Athair atá ar neamh,
Go naofar d'ainim,
Go dtagfadh do ríocht,
Go ndéantar do thoil ar an talamh mar a dhéantar ar neamh.
Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu,agus maith dúinn ár bhfiachamar a mhaithimidne dár bhféichiúna féin
Ach ná lig sinn i gcathú, ach saor sinn ó olc

Legend has it that Patrick went up a hill near Westport, County Mayo and prayed and fasted for 40 days for the island. A joke states that afterward he came down and his beast of burden was missing. Neverthless, join me in praying for Ireland on 17 March.
