  1. Old Prayers

    To cure a nose bleeding
    Jesus was born in a stable at Bethlehem.
    He was baptized at the River Jordan.
    The water being fresh the water being good.
    When Jesus came the water stood.
    By his power and by his name.
    Command the blood to do the same.
    Another Prayer
    As I walked through the blessed land.
    I met the Blessed Virgin with seven mass books in her hand.
    Seven bells ringing seven priests singing.
    Shut the gate of hell and open the gates of heaven.
    And let my poor soul in. Amen
    Another Prayer
    Friday morning at the church the Jews pierced our Savour through heart and hand.
    The Blessed Virgin was standing by with a weak heart and a troubled mind.
    Whoever says this prayer three times by day three times by night never shall enter the gate of hell.
    In honour of the five bleeding wounds that were nailed to a tree.
