A Prayer of the Dying - From the Traditional Roman Ritual

O my God, I believe everything that the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church believes and teaches. In this belief will I live and die. O my God, I trust and hope that in thy endless mercy you will be kind to me. I trust and hope that through the bitter suffering of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the Saints, I may be able to gain eternal life.

O my God, I love you with my whole heart; with my whole soul, and with all my strength. I long to love you with the great love of your Saints. Because I love you, I am sorry for all the sins of my whole life that I have committed against you, and for all the sins I have committed against my neighbour.

O my God, with my whole heart I forgive anyone who has ever made me suffer, and anyone who has been my enemy. With my whole heart I ask forgiveness of everyone whom I have wronged and of everyone to whom I have given pain.

O my God, give me the grace of patience in my suffering and of submission to your Holy Will. I offer you this illness as a punishment for my sins, and I unite myself with the bitter sufferings and death of my Lord Jesus Christ.

Have mercy on me, O God, in the greatness of your mercy. In you, O Lord have I hope; may I never be put to shame!

Before I was born, you did know me. In your image, O Lord, you formed me. To you, my Creator, I give back my soul.

The wrong I have done, O Lord, appals me, and I stand ashamed in your presence. When you do come to judge me, do not condemn me!

Most kind Lord, Jesus Christ, because of your bitter suffering, may I be numbered among your chosen. My Jesus, Mercy! Lord, save us, we perish! Come, Lord Jesus!

My Guardian Angel, I put myself in your hands. All you Holy Angels and Saints of God, pray for me and help me!  Amen.
