    To be said in the morning.
    God bless my eyes, God bless my heart. God bless all I'll see this day and God bless all that sees me.
    As I was walking through my blessed hand I met the Blessed Virgin Mary with seven mass-books in her hand, seven priests were singing, seven bells were ringing, "Shut the gates of Hell and open the gates of heaven and let the poor souls in."
