  1. Collection of Prayers

    I lay my body down to sleep, I pray to God my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray to God my soul to take. Four corners on my bed, Four angels on them spread. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, God bless this bed I lie upon. [To be said when you go into bed.]
    As I went up the Blessed land, I met the Blessed Virgin. She had seven books in her hand, Seven candles lighting, Seven priests singing a song, and seven doors shining. [To be said when you go into bed.]
