It is my habit to arise each day and read something inspirational in the pursuit of setting my head straight before it self governs. This morning, the task is done; thank you for this!

Claire, always delightful to hear from you and read your very gracious comments. Go raibh maith agat!

Your post has triggered that inexplicable wellspring of inspiration within me, which typically doesn't leave me alone until I write something!  Were it not for other projects on my desk, I'd be doing it this instance, but it's enough for me to park it and say, "Oh, I've got a good one for my fellow Geese!" And with regard to Go raibh maith agat, my intuition tells me God is in there. Go with God, perhaps? God bless you? You have to suffer us poor Yanks with a translation!

I have never heard of this prayer before, so I was really glad o open your article this morning and read it. Thank you for that inspiration for my day .

I have not heard reference before to there being seven archangels. Of course I knew of Michael, Gabriel and Raphael and even Uriel but had not heard mention of the other three. Now I am curious as to why not! Something to investigate now when I have some time!

Beautiful ancient Irish prayer Gerry, thanks so much for bringing it to our attention!

Interesting, needs further investigation. Also. I came across an old Irish saying which I never heard before, God between us and all harm. Live and learn.

Yes ; as a child it Ireland Martin Cavanan ; that was a adage used in most conversation's . For example if something was not quite right in a family ; they woudl say ; God between us and all harm. meaning ; I do hope that  harm will not come our way .

Also ; I have a prayer taught to me by my Grandmother and it reads like this ......... say it every day , often 

Oh Angel of of God ,my guardian dear 

To whom Gods Love commits me here 

Ever this day be at my side 

To light, to guard, to rule , to guide ........... Amen

I've been slowly starting to gather some ideas about angels. This is so inspiring.
