  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    There are only a few old prayers known in this district My grandmother learned some of them in her early days and she taught them to my mother.
    This is one that can be said in the morning: -
    "God and His Blessed Mother may guide me,
    God may save my sisters and brothers,
    God may save myself.
    Heart of Jesus I implore
    To love Thee daily more and more,
    Great God I adore and honour Thee,
    I acknowledge Thee to be my Creator and Sovereign Lord,
