"All out trouble can be traced to

enough to declare that women had a
soul. Man originally knew we'll

his feet were dangling from the

Driven out of Paradise Adam had
to work to support her. When he re-

Beginning at the cross we ask of Thee
To make our lives as pure as pure can
be,
We ask Thee to protect from satan's
power,
To watch us in temptations darkest

Thou are the maker Of all earth and
heaven.
And Thou wilt judge the living and
the dead,
And unto Thee all earthly power is
given.
And by Thy nightly hand we all
are lead
Our Father Thou Who art in Heaven,
All hallowed be Thy Sacred name;
And may Thy Kingdom come to one

Thy will be done by all who know Thy
fame.
Give unto us each day our daily
bread,
And all our sins we ask Three to for
give;
Deliver us from evil yet to come,
And teach us how to look to Thee and
live.
Hail Mary full Of grace We ask Of
Thee,
For thou art blessed above all woman
kind:
Watch DER us at the solemn hour of
death.
And let us peace and consolation find.
And now We reach Thy holy cross

And We have found each pearly bead

We press it 10 our lips in reverence

For we are here TO find Salvation

Yes we are sure to find Salvation
If we but let each bead speak TO our
