Greetings;
Is the usage of the word "May" in the below sentence correct? or would it be more accurate if I used it at the begining of every sentence after comma?
** May all hearts be filled with joy, all dreams come true, all pain and suffering be alleviated and all your prayers be answered. Wishing you and yours a happy Eid ul-Adha (the festival of sacrifice) **
Many Thanks

IMO one instance of 'may' at the beginning is fine. I'd also put a comma after 'alleviated'.
