    A Prayer
    Told by Mrs Thomas Smyth aged 40 years Crossdrum, Oldcastle, Co. Meath.
    O God of Charity without limit,
    and of mercy, without measure, it was Thy love induced Thee to come to me.
    I give thee my body as a temple, my will as a sacrifice, my heart as an altar, my soul as a pyx (??)
    O Lord merciful Redeemer of heaven
    O noble loving Infant keep me in Thy peace give me a dwelling in Thy heart.
    Dissolve me in the fragrance of Thy Charity, strengthen me in Thy love, receive me through Thy Death.
    O Lord make me entirely pleasing to Thee through the fruits of thy Sacred Heart
    Amen
    Brighidh Ní Ghabhann
