Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord. O my God, I have certainly to
die, but I know not when, how or where I shall die; this only I
know: That if I die in mortal sin, I shall be lost for ever. Most
blessed Virgin Mary, holy Mother of God, pray for me a sinner, now

| Prayer for
Deliverance From a Sudden and Unprovided Death |
O
most merciful Lord Jesus, by Thine agony and sweat of Blood, by
Thy precious death, deliver us, we beseech Thee, from a sudden and
unprovided death. O most kind Lord Jesus, by Thy most sharp and
ignominious scourging and crowning with thorns, by Thy holy Cross
and bitter Passion, by Thy loving-kindness, we humbly pray that
Thou wouldst not suffer us to die unprovided with Thy holy
Sacraments. O dearly beloved Lord Jesus, by all Thy labors and
sorrows, by Thy Precious Blood and sacred Wounds, by those thy
last words on the cross: 'My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken
me?' and those others: 'Father, into thy hands I commend my
spirit,' we most earnestly beseech Thee to deliver us from a
sudden death. Grant us, we pray, room for repentance; grant us a
happy passing in Thy grace, that so we may be able to love Thee,
praise Thee and bless Thee forever. Amen. (Raccolta)

Prayer for
Persever-
ance
|
O
supreme and eternal God, I thank Thee for creating me, redeeming
me by Jesus Christ, making me a Christian called to the true
faith, and having waited for my repentance after so many sins. O
infinite Bounty, I love Thee above all things, and I repent with
all my heart for having offended Thee. I have confidence that Thou
hast already pardoned me, but being always in danger of again
falling into sin, I beg of Thee for the love of Jesus Christ, to
grant me holy perseverance unto death. Help me, O Lord, for Thou
knowest my weakness and suffer me not again to be separated from
Thee, may I die a thousand times rather than again have the
misfortune of losing Thy grace. O Mary, my Mother, obtain for me
holy perseverance. (St. Andrew's Missal)

O

absolving words be said over me, and the holy oil sign and seal
me; and let Thine own Body be my food, and Thy Blood my
sprinkling; and let thy Mother Mary come to me, and my angel
whisper peace to me, and thy glorious saints and my own dear
patrons smile on me, that in and through them all I may die as I
desire to live, in thy Church, in thy faith and in thy love. Amen.
