  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Infant Jesus meek and mild look on me a little child
    Pity mine pity me suffer me to come to thee
    Heart of Jesus I adore thee heart of Mary I implore thee
    Heart of Joseph pure and just in those three hearts I place my trust.
    After Communion
    Oh my loving Lord a thousand welcomes,
    Oh son of Mary I love you indeed I do.
    Who am I that you should come next or near me,
    Oh God of Heaven make a little corner in your heart.
    And never while there is life in me let me loose my place there.
    After my death may I still hide there.
    Amen
    Have pity on me oh Blessed Mother, talk to my God for me
    Tell him I am a poor ignorant creature, Full of nothing but sin and misery.
    But as I love you his own dear Mother, That I am a poor servant,
    And for your sweet sake to help and pity me.
    Amen
