- (continued from previous page)As I walked up the holy land.
I met the Blessed Virgin.
Three mass books in his hand.
Three bells ringing, three priests singing.
Open the gates of heaven.
Shutting the gates of hell.
Any man or woman who says this prayer three times a day and three times a night shall never see the fries of hell or purgatory with the help of God.God bless this Friday and Good Friday.
The Friday our Saviour was crucified.
In came the Jews with a sharp spear.
And pressed it down until his temples bled.
Blessed mother standing by with sorrowful head.
And a wonderful cry.
O Jesus be at my bed-side
Any one who says this prayer three times a day, and three times a night shall never die in mortal sin or the gates of hell shall not prevail against him.(continues on next page)
