A Pocket Full of Roses: Bed Time Prayers

Everynight Emma says this prayer:

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

I was looking at other bedtime prayers. There are a few versions of this prayer.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
And in the morning when I awake,
help me Lord, the path of love to take.

And,

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
See me safely through the night,
And wake me with the morning light.

Here are some Catholic prayers:

BASIC PRAYERS

SIGN OF THE CROSS

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

OUR FATHER

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be

Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done,

on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our

daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we

forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us

not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is

the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

GLORY BE

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

APOSTLES CREED

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by

the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead;

He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God

the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come

to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,

the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

ACT OF CONTRITION 1

O MY GOD, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

AN ACT OF CONTRITION VERSION 2

Forgive me my sins, O Lord, forgive me my sins;

the sins of my youth, the sins of my age, the sins of my soul,

the sins of my body; my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins;

the sins I know, the sins I do not know; the sins I have concealed

for so long, and which are now hidden from my memory.

I am truly sorry for every sin, mortal and venial,

for all the sins of my childhood up to the present hour.

I know my sins have wounded Thy Tender Heart,

O My Savior, let me be freed from the bonds of evil through

the most bitter Passion of My Redeemer. Amen.

O My Jesus, forget and forgive what I have been. Amen.

THE MORNING OFFERING

O my God, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary

[here kiss your Scapular as sign of your consecration to Mary,

which carries a partial indulgence], I offer Thee the Precious

Blood of Jesus from all the altars throughout the world, joining

with It the offering of my every thought, word and action of this day.

O my Jesus, I desire to day to gain every indulgence and merit

I can and I offer them, together with myself, to Mary Immaculate,

that she may best apply them in the interests of They Most

Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

SPECIAL MORNING PRAYERS

FATIMA MORNING OFFERING

O JESUS, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings, all that this day may bring, be they good or bad: for the love of God, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

OFFERING OF DAILY ACTIONS

ETERNAL FATHER, by virtue of Your generosity and love, I ask that You

accept all my actions, and that You multiply their value in favor of every

Soul in Purgatory. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

SHORT MORNING OFFERINGS

My loving Jesus, out of the grateful love I bear Thee, and to make reparation for my unfaithfulness to grace, I give Thee my heart, and I consecrate myself wholly to Thee; and with Thy help I purpose never to sin again. Dear Lord, I could never vie with Thee in generosity, but I love Thee; deign to accept my poor heart, and though it is worth nothing, yet it may become something by Thy grace. Since it loves Thee, do Thou make it good and take it into Thy custody.

I will extol Thee, O God, my King, and I will bless Thy Name forever and ever.

Take O Lord, all my liberty. receive my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am, all that I have, Thou hast given me, and I restore it all to Thee, to be disposed of according to Thy good pleasure. Give me only Thy love and Thy grace; with these I am rich enough, and I desire nothing more.

OFFERING TO THE HOLY TRINITY

MOST Holy and Adorable Trinity, One God in Three Persons, I praise Thee

and give Thee thanks for all the favors Thou has bestowed upon me. Thy

goodness has preserved me until now, I offer Thee my whole being and

in particular, all my thoughts, words, and deeds, together with all the trials I may undergo this day. Give them Thy blessing. May Thy divine Love animate them

and may they serve Thy greater glory.

I make this morning offering in union with the Divine intentions of Jesus Christ

Who offers himself daily in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and in union with

Mary, His Virgin Mother and our Mother, who was always the faithful handmaid

of the Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Amen.

A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION

O My God, I adore Thee and I love Thee with all my heart. I thank Thee for having created me, for having made me a Catholic and for having watched over me this day. Pardon me for the evil I have done this day; and if I have done any good, deign to accept it. Watch over me while I take my rest and deliver me from danger. May Thy grace be always with me. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE HOME

We beseech You, O Lord, visit this home, and drive far from it all the snares of the enemy; let Your holy angels dwell therein so as to preserve us in peace; and let Your blessing be always upon us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
