  1. I knew a few prayers to be said at different times When you are going to bed at night say.
    O my God keep me from harm this night and may I wake safe this morning. When a person looses something they say: O my God help me to find that I have lost or Saint Antony help me to find what I have lost.
    When you are going to bed at night say As I lie on my right side I pray to God to give me guide
    If any evil tempts me, O Blessed Savour wake me. There are four corners on my bed. There are four Blessed Angels over- spread. O Saints Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. God give me rest on this I lie on. If I die before I wake I give my soul to God to take. May the Lord be the branch and may the Lady be the flower. O Sweet Jesus may you be with me at my dying hour.
