- This prayer is said going into Church :-
Out-side the Church I lave my sins, and into the Church I enther in.
This one is said going to bed at night: -
There are four corners on my bed. There are four angels on them spread. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. God bless that bed that I lie on.
Those two are said at prayers: -
Lord be the branch and Lady. Great God may be with me at my dying hour.
I have a little prayer and I told it to Mary. Mary told it to God. God said it was good. Jesus be the branch and Mary be the flower. jesus, Mary, and Joseph assist me now in my dying hour.
There is no special time for saying this prayer, but it is usually said when going to bed and getting up in the morning: -
O! holy cross our noblest. In those woods there's none like thee. No tree, no flower, no shady bower, can produce so sweet a flower as thee.
To be said getting up: -
I rise from this bed for the love of Thee. who dids't die on the cross for the love of me
