  1. An Old Prayer to Our Lady

    Share Share Post
    Oh Mary of Graces,
    And Mother of God,
    May I walk in the paths,
    That the righteous have trod!
    And mayest thou save me,
    From evil's control,
    and mayest thou save me,
    In body and soul.
    And mayest thou save me,
    By land and by sea,
    And mayest thou save me,
    From tortures to be.
    May the guard of the angels,
    Above me abide;
    May God be before me,
    And God at my side!
    Moira Burke,
    Convent School,
    VI Std.
    My uncle Paddy Burke, Beagh, learned this prayer from an old school teacher when he was a little boy at school over forty years ago.
