(To be repeated nine times.)
Jesus, grant me grace always to remember my death, and the great account I am then to give; that so my soul being well disposed, it may depart out of this world in thy grace.
Then by the holy intercession of. thy blessed Mother, and the assistance of St. Joseph and the glorious St. Michael, deliver me from the enemy of my soul; and thou, my good angel, I beseech thee, help me at that most important hour.
Then, dear Jesus, remember thy mercy, and turn not thy most amiable face from me because of my offences. Secure me against the terrors of that day, by causing me now to die daily to all earthly things, and to have my conversation continually in heaven.
Let the remembrance of thy death teach me how to esteem my life; and the memory of thy resurrection encourage me to descend cheerfully into the grave.
Have mercy on all sinners, etc. (page 386.)
Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc.
