Blessing of the Second Day



Day Two of the Octave of Easter
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

In Celtic spirituality tears are sometimes called the eighth sacrament. 

Blessing of Tears 
Blessed be the tears of the sorrowful
In the sacrament of letting go
Blessed be the tears of the weary
In the sacrament of holding on
Blessed be the tears of mourning
In the sacrament of saying goodbye

Blessed be the tears of regret
In the sacrament of look to tomorrow


Blessed be the tears of the joyful
In the sacrament of gladdening eyes
Blessed be the tears of the loving
In the sacrament of opening hearts
Blessed be the tears of compassion
In the sacrament of walking beside
Blessed be the tears of belonging
In the sacrament of knowing your God

Blessed be.
