Here is a blessing from\u00a0Irish Culture and Customs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Blessing for Holy Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Palm Sunday to Holy Saturday,
may God in His infinite mercy

a time of prayer and reflection;
And joyful anticipation
of our Lord\u2019s resurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

followed by bursts of unfolding
