    When I rise in the morning I say: "I will rise from this bed of sleep to adore and glorify my god" grant, o my Lord, that I will arise on the last day to life everlasting.
    Starting work.
    "All for Thee my Lord, O my Jesus all for thee."
    Going on a journey:
    "May the Almighty and merciful Lord guide me on my way, that I may in peace, health and happiness return to my home."
    When sneezing I say:
    "God bless us and save us"
    Meeting a ghost:
    "God between us and harm"
    Taking a drink:
    "I take this drink in honour of Thee, O Lord, help me to take it"
    Going to bed:
    "As I go to bed I go to my grave, O, merciful Jesus, my soul for to save, Lord with the branch, Lady with the flower. O Merciful Jesus and Mary be with me at my dying hour."
    "Bless me O Lord, defend and govern me and after this short and miserable pilgrimage, bring me to everlasting happiness."
    When thunder and lighting is coming:
    "God protect us from harm."
    Going to bed at night.
    "Ere I lay myself down to sleep, I give myself to Christ to keep. If danger overcomes me Blessed Virgin waken me. There are four on my bed, there are four angels that overspread - St. Matthew, Mark, St. Luke and John. God bless this bed that I lay on."
