In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Before I lay me down to rest,
I raise my heart, O God, to Thee.
For gifts with which I have been blest,
I give Thee thanks repeatedly.
If Thee I have displeased to-day,
Forgive me, Father, ere I sleep!
Let the children make a short examination of conscience, and then say:
I love The, my Lord, I love Thee, my God,
O would that I loved Thee more!
I am so sorry now for all my sins,
O grant me Thy pardon and grace!
While Undressing:
Lord, take from me whatever might
Thy gracious eyes displease!
One Our Father and Hail Mary for the poor souls in Purgatory.
Then say:
Lord, grant the departed eternal rest
In light perpetual ever blest.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
– from Mother Love, p. 22
