- A Collection of Prayers. April 13th, 1938.When the men are going out in the morning the others that are in the house say to them "God keep you through the day and God bring you home safely."When one person gets something from another person, he says, "God increase it for you."When they hear that there is a certain mark on some person, they say "God bless the mark."When somebody is going away from their house, they say "God speed you on your journey."When they sneeze, they say "God bless us."When they are going to bed, they say "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John bless the bed that I lie on. There are four corners round my bed, there are four angels round my head, one to watch, one to pray, and two to carry my soul away."If they were going along the road and they saw someone working in the fields, they say "God bless the work."When a traveller comes in, he says "God bless all here."Mollie Lacey, Court, Monamolin, Gorey.
