- On Good Friday our Saviour died. On Good Friday he was crucified. The jews came up with their sharp spears and pierced him through His tender heart His mother Mary standing by.
Dark and dismal she did cry.
And anyone who say this prayer
three times by night and three times by day never shall suffer the pains of purgatory or die in mortal sin.

- As I lay down on my right side
I pray to Thee to be my guide.
If I don't rise now or ever
I give my soul to God for ever.
There are four corners on my bed
And four Angels on them spread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
God bless this bed that I lie on. - Collector
