the eyes of thy compassion, even as thou didst look upon
thine only begotten Son in the Garden of Olives as He lay
prostrate on the ground before thee, disposing and
bequeathing all his merits for the benefit of his Church.
And as thou didst receive the prayer of the same thy Son
as an odour of well-pleasing, so do thou deign to ratify
this my last will, and to render it, and then accept it, as
seasonable and acceptable in thy sight.

Firstly: In the clearest form and most binding manner I
bequeath and make over wholly to thee, O most blessed
Trinity, my body and my soul, and all the works which I
have done with them throughout the whole course of my
life. And I give thee highest and everlasting thanks that

regenerated me in holy baptism, hast sanctified me with
thine other Sacraments, and hast bestowed on me in

all the good, and all the graces and favours which I have
ever received from thee, in body and in soul ; and I
acknowledge that of thine unfathomable goodness, and
through the intercession of thy saints, thou hast
bestowed on me a thousandfold more good then I have
