  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Here are two of the old prayers we say at home.
    "Good Friday" Good Friday"
    Our Lord was Cruicified
    The Jews came in with spears so sharp
    And struck our Saviour through the heart.
    The heart, the hand the blood flows on.
    Blessed Mother standing by.
    With a heavy heart and a dismal cry.
    Any one that says this prayer three times by day,
    three times by night the gates of hell the fires
