divine love. Protect thy holy Catholic Church; direct thy governing Vicar on earth, and all ecclesiastical orders and pious persons who are instrumental in bringing souls to their duty. Preserve in thy happy service all Christian kings and princes. Bring into the way of salvation all those who are gone astray, whether through malice or ignorance, and subject unto thy sweet yoke all infidels, heretics, and all the enemies of thy holy name.
Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory, etc.
LET US PRAY.
O LORD Jesus Christ! God of my heart! by those five wounds which our sins inflicted on thee, succour thy servants, whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood. Amen.
Most merciful Redeemer! I humbly beseech thee, by those unspeakable torments, and the immense grief which thou wast pleased to suffer for me, especially when thy blessed soul was separated from thy body, that thou wilt secure my poor soul at the hour of its departure, and comfort me then, as thou didst the good thief, with the blessed assurance that I shall be with thee in paradise. Amen.
Let us say thrice the Our Father and the Hail Mary, in memory of the three hours our dear Redeemer hung upon the cross, for the souls of the faithful departed of this congregation. Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc.
Let us say once the Our Father and, the Hail Mary, for such as are in the lamentable state of mortal sin. Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc.
Let us likewise say once the Our Father and the Hail Mary, for the person in this congregation that is to die next, that he may he prepared, and depart happily fortified with the holy sacraments of the Church. Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc.
Let us dispose ourselves, by acts of perfect contrition, and pure love of God. to receive worthily the benediction of our Lord and Saviour, in the adorable sacrament of the altar.
