We would really appreciate it if someone could phonetically write out Lord have mercy Christ have mercy and the Hail Mary so we could pray in Irish.

We are to have an Irish-American Mass this Sunday, October 13, 2002. We've been told that this Mass would never happen and that we would not be unable to have anything in Irish. We are a small division with a large amount of faith. Please help us.

Thankyou in advance for your time and patience!
May God Bless You.

Pronunciations differ depending on the 'type/location' of Irish beeing spoken -here's my attempt.


Any suggestions on any 'sounds' etc- more than welcome.


Lord Have mercy
A Thiarna, déan trócaire
A Heerna dane trowe-kera

Christ have mercy
A Chríost, déan trócaire
A Chreest dane trowe-kera


Hail Mary
Sé do bheatha, a Mhuire
Shay du vah-ha, a Wirrah

Full of grace
Tá lán de ghrásta,
Taw lawn duh grawstah

The Lord is with you
Tá an Tiarna leat.
Taw un Teernah latt

Blessed are you among women
Is beannaí tú idir mhná
Iss bannee too idjir vnawe

and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus
agus is beannaí toradh do bhroinn Íosa.
Ahguss Iss bannee toruh duh vroin Eesa

Holy Mary, Mother of God
A Naomh Muire, máthair Dé,
Ah Naeve Mirra, mah-her Day

Pray for us sinners
Guí orainn na peacaí,
Guee ohr-ing nuh pahkee

Now and at the hour of our death.
Anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.
Anish, ahguss er uar awhr mahsh, Ah-men.
