  1. Prayers

    ' Pity me and Pity mine,
    Suffer me to come to Thine,
    Heart of Mary, I adore thee
    Heart of Jesus, I implore Thee,
    Heart of Joseph, pure and just,
    In these three Hearts I place my trust".
    -------
    Before retiring -
    " I lay my body down to sleep,
    To God I give my soul to keep,
    And if I die, before I wake
    I pray to God, my soul to take."
    -------
    Now I sign the Blessed token,
    Fold my arms upon my breast,
    May Jesus' name be the last word spoken,
    Ere I gently sink to rest.
    -------
