  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    There are alot of prayers here still that were used by the old people of long ago.
    Some of them are said when people are in tempation (sic).
    "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, help me".
    "Spare us, Good Lord, spare thy people whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood, and be not angry with us for ever".
    When getting up the old people say:
    "I rise from this bed for the love of Thee,
    Who didst die on the Cross for the love of me".
    If you fall into sin say:
    "Lord in the blood that simmers doth flow.
    Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow".
