  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    Oh Mother are You sleeping? No Son but I am dreaming. What are you dreaming of? I am dreaming that You are tearing, wearing and wailing nailed to a Cross and a Crown of Thorns on Your Head. That is a very good dream Mother and whoever says it three times when going to bed shall never see the Gates of Hell but shall be sure that the Gates of Heaven will be open to him.
