  1. Old Prayers - A Prayer Said Going to Bed at Night

    Share Share Post
    As I lay down my head to sleep I pray to God my soul will keep.
    Infant Jesus meek and mild Look on me thy little child. Pity mine and pity me and suffer me to come to Thee Heart of Jesus I adore. Heart of Mary I implore Heart of Joseph pure and just in those three hearts I place my trust.

    Through Thy Sacred Virginity and Immaculate Conception O most chaste Virgin obtain for us purity and
    Sanctity of soul and body amen.
