    This prayer is always said after the family Rosary every night: -
    "O Glorious Virgin Mary I commit my soul and body to thy blessed trust this night and for ever more especially at the hour of my death. I recommend to your merciful charity all my hopes, my consolations, my distress and misery, my life and the end thereof, that through Thy most holy intercession all our works may be directed according to the will of our Blessed Son. Amen."

    There was a prayer in the Irish language used by some old people here a few years ago but nobody can remember the words of it now.
