Prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for Father Darien, who has been our wonderful parish priest. We are grateful for his kindness, his teachings, and the love he shared with us. As he prepares to leave our school community, we ask you to bless him abundantly in his new journey.
May he continue to spread your word and love wherever he goes. Help us to remember the lessons he taught us and to carry on his legacy of faith and kindness.
Thank you, God, for sending Father Darien to us. Please watch over him and guide him in all he does.
Amen.
An Irish Blessing for Fr Darien
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
