  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Mrs Slevin, Mt Murray sent this prayer to school. She says it is a cure for toothache.
    St Peter sat on a marble stone
    The Lord appeared to him alone
    "What ails you Peter or where do you ache."
    "Oh Lord"says Peter "I have the toothache."
    Jesus said to him "Rise up Peter and behold from your toothache not you alone but all others who keep those words in memory or in writing and say a pater and ave and creed never shall be troubled with a toothache again."
