THIS prayer was found in the Sepulchre of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the year 803
and was sent by the Pope to the Emperor
Charles on the evening of his departure as he
went to battle for his safety.
WHOEVER reads or
hears it read or wears it on him will never
die a sudden death nor be drowned or burn or
any poison affect him or be a prisoner of war
or be vanquished. And if it be read over any woman
in labour pain she shall be delivered safely and
when the child is born, let her place this prayer
on the right side of the child and it shall never
he troubled by any misfortune. Whoever carries
this prayer with him, will never have an epileptic
attack and if you see anyone having fits, place
this prayer on his right side and he will be
cured immediately.
WHOEVER writes this prayer
for himself or for others, I will bless him, says
the Lord, but whoever mocks or laughs at it
will suffer. Believe this for certain, when this
prayer is in the house, the house will be safely
guarded of thunder and lightning, and whoever
reads this prayer daily will be warned three
days before his death.
