of thy beloved Son, Jesus, I humbly beg of thee, so to wash me with his precious blood, that my sins may be entirely remitted.

Endeavour as much as possible, to put yourself in the condition you desire to be found in at the hour of death.

My God; I accept of death as a

owe to thy divine Majesty, and as a punishment, justly due to my sins, in union with the death of my dear Redeemer, and as, the only means of coming to thee, my beginning and last end.

I firmly believe all the sacred truths the Catholic Church, believes and teaches, because thou hast revealed them. And by the assistance of thy holy grace, I am resolved to live and die in the communion of this thy Church.,

Relying upon thy goodness, power, and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, and life everlasting, thro' the merits of thy Son, Jesus Christ, my only Redeemer, and by the intercession of his blessed mother, and all the saints. N

I love thee with all my heart and soul, and desire to love thee as the blessed do in heaven. I adore all the designs of thy Divine Providence, resigning myself entirely to thy will.

I also love my neighbour for thy sake, as I love myself: I sincerely forgive all that have injured me, and ask pardon of all I have injured.

I renounce the Devil, with all his works; the Wor'd, with all its pomps; the flesh, with all its temptations.

I desire to be dissolved, and to be with Christ., Father into thy hands I commend my spirit: Lord Jesus receive my soul.

May the blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and all the saints pray for us to our Lord, that we may be preserved this night from sin and all evils.

Blessed St. Michael, defend us in the day of battle, that we may not be lost at the dreadful judgment.

Omy good Angel, whom God, by his divine mercy has appointed to be my guardian, enlighten and protect ne direct and me this night.
