I Do Not Wish You a Path Devoid of Clouds (recital & meaning)

There are many Irish blessings, but few as powerful and inspirational as, I do not wish you a path devoid of clouds. In this reading we’ve set it to images of Ireland and wonderful Celtic music. At the end of the reading, we look at the meaning of the blessing and try to see why it is so powerful and so popular. I do not wish you a path devoid of clouds Nor a life of ease on a bed of roses I do not wish that you should never feel pain, Or endure the bitter pangs of sorrow and regret. I do not wish you these things, for they are not the things that matter. See the video for the rest of the poem and to hear it being read and explained. This famous blessing was originally written in Irish long ago, the author is unknown. It’s uplifting and inspirational, the kind of poem people return to from time to time when they need to reflect and maybe re-evaluate. But why does this blessing stand out among the hundreds of others? Why has it become so well-known and popular? In this video we explore what makes it so inspirational, its down to earth approach to God and the Holy Spirit, and why it urges us to play our part in our salvation. It contains the message that God’s door is always open. It’s up to us to decide whether to walk through. Thank you for watching.
