   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Long ago there were many beautiful prayers but unfortunately few of them are heard now. It is believed that their whole life consisted of prayers and hard work. They had a prayer for every act they did during the day.

   
   In the morning when getting up they said:-

   "Christ be with me, be after me, be before me, and be at my right and left hand, and may every thing I do, be for Christ"

   
   There is another to Saint Michael, it is:-

   "Blessed Saint Michael save us in the day of battle that we may not be lost on the day of judgement"

   
   They also said a prayer when kindling the fire:-

   "Oh my Jesus warm my heart with the fire that (is) in Thy Sacred Heart."

   
   This is another aspiration said when dressing:-

   "Lord! Clothe me with the role of innocence."

   
   When the men were going to the fair their wives would say:-

   "God be with them now, and bring them home safe with their share of stock or money."

   
   During thunder and lightening they said:-

   "O! Lord be between us and harm and protect us from the harms of the world."
