Some who know me might say that I'm in the business of blessing. Priests and deacons are usually the ones who are called upon (at least in our tradition) to pronounce words of blessing or to pray for divine protection, but we're not the first (nor will we be the last) to be confided with this privilege.
Long before current-day blessings were ever conferred, the task of speaking holy words and conveying benedictions was conferred upon shamans and others like them. In fact, thousands of years before modern-day times, people like the Celts were speakng holy words. Such words are still conveyed today, perhaps no better known than through the dulcid tones of chants, hopes and blessings set to the music of the Emerald Isles.
A new setting has just recently been spread, complete with its wishes for peace and goodwill, its wafting tones and lulling melody. Have a listen, give thanks, and make a difference in the world that you see around you.
