  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Prayer said on going to bed :-
    "I lay my body down to sleep,
    I beg of God my soul to keep,
    And if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take".
    Prayer while dressing in the morning,
    "O my God clothe my soul with a nuptial robe of charity, and grant that I may wear it pure and undefiled before Thy judgement Seat".
    Prayer for a child going to sleep :-
    Infant Jesus, meek and mild,
    Look on me a little child,
    Pity my simplicity
    Suffer me to come to Thee,
    Heart of Jesus I adore Thee,
    Heart of Mary I implore Thee,
    Heart of Joseph pure and just,
    In these three hearts I put my trust".
