  1. A Prayer for a Happy Death

    Share Share Post
    O St Joseph Foster father of Jesus Christ and true spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary pray for all those who are in the agony this might.
    This is a prayer that small children say.
    God bless me and keep me safe till night again.
    This prayer is said at night
    Here I lay me down to sleep
    I give my soul to god to keep
    and if a, I die before I wake
    I trust in god my soul to take
    There are four corners on my bed. There are four angels on my spread, Martha, Mark & Luke and Jhon God
