My God and Father, praise and thanks to You for
the undeserved love with which You have protected
me today in so many dangers of body and soul and
for all the graces and favors I have received from
You. Come, Holy Spirit, enlighten my mind and
strengthen my will that I may say my prayers
devoutly.
This day has now passed, but my works shall
follow after me. Grant that when my last hour
comes, all evil may be atoned for, and all the duties
You have entrusted to me may be faithfully finished.
Holy Spirit, enlighten my mind that I may clearly
see my sins; move my heart that I may be truly sorry
for them and amend my life.
(Pause to examine your conscience.)
My God and Father, have mercy on me according
to Your great mercy. I am deeply sorry for all my sins, because I have deserved to) be punished by
You, the all-knowing and just Judge, in this life and
in the life to come, but much more because I have
offended and grieved You, the most high and most
lovable Good. Pardon me, O God! I am firmly
resolved never to offend You again. Help me with
Your grace.
Eternal Father, I offer You the Precious Blood of
Jesus Christ in atonement for my sins and for all the
intentions of our Holy Church.
God Holy Spirit, Father of love and holiness, fill
my heart with the fire of Your love, that I may serve
You with a chaste body and please You with a pure
heart.
In Your name, O Lord, I take my rest. Grant that
my every breath may praise and glorify You. Have
mercy on the sick, on poor sinners now in the sleep
of spiritual death, on all men who need Your help, as
also on the suffering souls in purgatory. And to me
grant the grace that I may always rest in and be
ever zealous in doing Your holy Will.
Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, and after Him
my only hope, my Guardian Angel, Saint Joseph, and
my holy Patron Saint, protect me during this night
and during my whole life, especially in the hour of
my death.
For the conversion of the whole world, for the
intentions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and for my
own intentions:
(Our Father.... Hail Mary....)
For the poor souls in purgatory: Good Lord Jesus,
give unto them eternal rest! My Jesus, mercy! Jesus,
Mary, Joseph! Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they
rest in peace. Amen.
For a happy death: Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I give
you my heart and my soul! Jesus, Mary, Joseph,
assist me in my last agony! Jesus, Mary, Joseph, may
I breathe forth my soul in peace with you!
Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever. Amen.
