  1. Prayer

    Share Share Post
    God grant the weary
    A calm and sweet repose
    And with Thy tenderest blessing
    May my eyelids close.
    Comfort all poor sinners
    That's watching this night in pain
    And those thats planning evil
    Oh, God, only them restrain
    And when the morning wakens
    Then may I arise
    Pure and fresh and sinless
    In Thy Holy Eyes.

  2. God Bless Good Friday

    Share Share Post
    Good Friday was the day,
    When Our Saviour's heart was pierced,
    From side to side.
    His Blessed Mother standing by,
    With a heavy heart and a dismal cry.
    Whoever says this prayer
    Three times a day and three times a night
    Shall never see Hell Nor the gates of Purgatory
    Shall never enter in.
