INVOCATIONS 101
A RESTING PRAYER
God shield the house, the fire, the kine,
Every one who dwells herein to-night.
Shield myself and my beloved group,
Preserve us from handling and from harm,
Preserve us from foes this night,
For the sake of the Son of the Mary Mother,
In this place, and in every place Avherein they dwell to-night,
On this night and on every night,
This night and every night.
