- There are four corners to my bed and four angels round my head. One to guard me, one to guide me, two to carry my soul to God. May Mathew, Mark, Luke and John bless the bed that I lay on. But is i die before I wake i give my soul to God to take.

- Oh Mary my mother and my hope I take refuge under thy mantle, then shall I live and die. Deliver me from sin and grant us thy Holy Blessings. We know we must die we don't know how, where or when bur if we die in mortal sin we are lost for ever. Most sacred heart of Jesus have mercy on us.
Christy Sheahan.
