  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews preserve me from a sudden and unprovided death. In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ Crucified I lay myself down to rest. Bless me O Lord. Defend and govern me this night, and after this short and miserable pilgrimage bring me to Life Everlasting Amen. This prayer is said before going to sleep. When rising I say I rise from this bed of sleep, to adore my God, and to labour for the salvation of souls. O may I rise with Thee on the Last Day to Life Everlasting Happiness Amen.
