Before I close my eyes tonight, I want to give everything I am to Jesus, Mary, and good Saint Joseph. I mean it with all my heart—I give them my heart, my little body, and my soul too. I don’t want to hold anything back.
Then I whispered softly to my guardian angel, who always listens even when I can’t see him. I asked him to stay close and keep watch through the night, especially if a storm comes or I have dreams that make me stir. And I asked all the saints in Heaven, the ones who already made it home, to please say a little prayer for me. I need their help every day.
I asked God to bless me—God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But not just me. I asked Him to bless Sister Mary Claire too, and even Mini, who already curled up at my feet and Omelette who is roosting on her roost in the hen house. Amen.
Love, Kathy
P. S.
Sisters Translation from John Hathaway's handwritten prayer book.
All the saints and chosen ones of God, pray for me and protect me
throughout this night from all dangers to body and soul,
and lead me to eternal life.
May the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, come upon me, and upon my parents and siblings, and remain with us always. Amen.
