  1. Some Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    God guard this house from roof to floor.
    The twelve apostles guard the door,
    Four good angels guard my bed
    Two at the foot and two at the head
    This prayer is said at night before going to sleep.
    A Daily offering and also a prayer for the Souls in Purgatory
    Oh, my God, I offer you this day
    All I shall do and think and say
    Uniting it with what was done
    On earth by Jesus Christ thy Son
    I make this offering for the souls
    Whom God's own Mother would release
    That She may place them near her Son
    In everlasting peace.
    Amen.
