The Morning Blessing.
In the morning, when you get out of bed, you should bless yourself with the holy cross and say:
May God the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, amen.
On it, kneeling or standing, say the Faith and Our Father; if you wish, you may say this little prayer in addition:
I thank thee, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, thy dear Son, that thou hast kept me this night from all harm and danger, and I beseech thee to keep me this day also from sins and all evil, that all my doings and life may please thee; for I commit myself, my body and soul, and all things into thy hands; may thy holy angel be with me, that the evil enemy find no power in me, amen.
And then went with joy to your work, and sang about a song, as, the Ten Commandments, or what your devotion gives.
The evening blessing.
In the evening, when you go to bed, you should bless yourself with the holy cross and say:
May God the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, amen.
On it, kneeling or standing, say the Faith and Our Father; if you wish, you may say this little prayer in addition:
I thank thee, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ thy dear Son, that thou hast graciously kept me this day; and I beseech thee to forgive me all my sin where I have wronged, and graciously keep me this night. For I commit myself, my body and soul, and everything into your hands; may your holy angel be with me, so that the evil enemy may have no power over me, amen.
And then quickly and happily slept.
