    Share Share Post
    O Lord I beseech thee visit this house and drive far from it the snares of the enemy. May the Holy Angels dwell in it to help us all in peace. And let thy blessing be upon us through Jesus Christ Our Lord Amen.
    God Bless Good Friday and Good Friday it was, the day Our Saviour was crusified with a crown of thorns upon His Head. Up came the Jews their sharp spears and pierced our Saviour from Heart to Head. Our Blessed Lady standing by with a heavy Heart and a mournful cry. He that say this prayer three times by day and three times by night neither death nor danger nor mortal sin or the gates of hell the poor sould shall not enter in.
