- I learned many nice short prayers from my mother when I was young.
When I am going to bed I say there are four corners on my bed, there are four Angles now in spread, Mathew Mark Luck John god bless this bed that I lay on.
When I go to bed I say.
Oh merciful Jesus hung in a tree, my soul and my body I give unto thee,
O merciful Jesus have mercy on me.
Another prayer I also say when I waken in the morning
O Angel of God my guardian dear to whom God's love commits me hear ever the day be at my side to light and and guard to rule and guide.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on me.- Collector
