- A prayer said when going to bed.
If I die before I wake I pray to God my soul to take. There are four corners in my bed there are four angels around my head one of them to guard me one of them to guide me two of them to carry my soul to heaven. Saint Mick, Saint Matt, Saint Luke, and Saint John, God bless the bed I die on.- Collector

- Lord Jesus Christ, I accept this sleep in the spirit of love with which Thou didst sanctify it when Thou didst deign to sleep in Thy most sacred humanity to the Glory of God the Father. Amen.

- Sprinkle "Holy Water" on your room and bed saying - by the sprinkling of Thy most precious blood, Lord Jesus, and by the merits of Thy bitter passion, wash me from every stain, and cleanse me from every sin. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen
