  2. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    The old people believed that if you would say this prayer three times by day and three times by night that you would never die in mortal sin.
    God Bless Good Friday and Friday too,
    Friday was the day Our Lord was crucified. The Jews came up with their spears sharp
    And struck Our Lord across the heart
    His Blessed Mother standing by
    With a heavy heard and a dismal sigh,
    His Blesssed Blood began to flow
    From the Heart to His Hands
    God Bless those people that says this prayer
    Three times by night and three times by day
    You never shall die in mortal sin or see the gates of hell. Amen.
