O
death, whose we are in life and in death, I
beseech thee by thy holy death for us upon the
cross, that thy coming to me in death may not find me
asleep, careless and unemployed, but watching and
ready for thee. I beseech thee, let me not depart this life
in impenitence, nor die an unprepared death; but
strengthen and fortify me with the true Catholic faith,
with sincere contrition, with a good confession and
fitting satisfaction, and with the most holy sacraments of
the Eucharist and of Extreme Unction. Then, when all
the vain and fleeting things of earth leave me, forsake me
not, O thou who abidest ever with thy chosen; be with
me in that last dread agony when my struggle with the

enemy will be most deadly and decisive. May thy holy
angels be with me then, and shield me from all
temptations, and give me consolation and fortitude
amidst my sufferings. May faith and hope and charity
and patience be strong within me. Enable me with
unclouded consciousness to commend my soul into thy
hands, and may I fall asleep in holy peace, and so pass in
safety into the kingdom which thou hast purchased for
us with so great a price. Remember me then, O Lord, as
thou didst promise to remember the penitent thief at his
last hour, and in thy mercy didst bestow on him what
thou hadst promised. Amen.
