- Old prayers
Collected from Mrs Joe Moore Harristown whose mother learned it from some religious old Irishwoman (name unknown), who composed it.After Communiion.
My loving Lord, a thousand welcomes.
O Son of Mary. I love you, indeed I do. Who am I at all that you should come next or near me.
O God of Heaven make a little corner for me in Your Heart and never while there is life in me let me lose my place there and after death may I still hide there.
Amen.To the Virgin Mary.
Have pity on me O Blessed Mother.
Talk to my God for me. Tell Him I am a poor ignorant creature full of sin and misery but that I love you His own dear Mother, that I am a poor servant and for your sweet sake to help and pity me.
Amen.
