- a happy death
Day 1
O Lord Jesus Christ, agonizing upon the cross, by that unbounded proof of zeal, for the glory of Thy Father and for the salvation of men: I pray Thee to assist me in the fearful agonies of death, give me a lively faith and a steadfast hope, a most fervent charity and the grace to close my days in peace, in the reception of the holy sacraments, and kissing Thy crucified image, my only good.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, &c.
O Lord Jesus Christ, by that invincible courage with which Thou didst sustain the ineffable pains of Thine agony, and by that perfect resignation and constant fidelity with which Thou didst meet a death so cruel and so ignominious: I pray Thee to assist me till my last breath, that with the like dispositions I may also resign my soul into the hands of Thy divine Father, and through Thy merits make to Him an acceptable sacrifice of my life to His glory and my salvation.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
O Lord Jesus Christ, by that glorious triumph, which, in Thy death, Thou didst obtain over sin and hell, and by that throne of glory to which Thou wast exalted by Thy Eternal Father, in Heaven: grant that I also, in the hour of death, may triumph over all my enemies, and come at last with Thee to the joys of Paradise. Yes, O my Jesus, grant me this grace by the merits of Thine agony and death: and, meanwhile, I commend my soul to Thee, and give it into Thy hands, beseeching Thee to give me light and strength to follow Thy example; that so at my death, (which from this moment I resolve to accept in the spirit of patience, in union with Thine, and in obedience to Thy adorable will,) being made worthy of all Thy favours, and rich in Thy merits; I may through Thee be received into the kingdom of glory, where, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, Thou dost live and reign one God glorious and supreme, for ever and ever.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.
