- Cure of the Strain
As Jesus was riding over moory hills and heathery mountain. His fore foot slipped. He put bone to bone, blood to blood and flesh to flesh. Put all together in the name of Jesus and say three Hail Marys in honour of God and the saint that cures the strain. This is done on Mondays and Thursdays before sunset.
