  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    The following are some prayers never printed in paper.
    When getting up in the morning say,
    Blessed by the hour that Jesus was born,
    Peace to the living and rest to the dead
    Merciful Jesus have mercy on me,
    My soul and my body I give unto thee.
    Though the five Sacred Wounds that hung on a tree,
    O merciful Jesus have mercy on me.
    The old people usually when the clock strikes, Bless themselves and say,
    Another hour of my life has passed Sweet Jesus be with me at the last.
    When starting to churn they say,
    Here we go in the name of God.
    Another prayer is
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels over head.
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    If any evil come to me, Holy Mother waken me.
