Prayer for the Dying

O Beloved Jesus,
Who for the love of me didst agonize on the Cross,
and from that throne of truth
didst announce the completion of the work of our Redemption,
through which,
from being the children of wrath and perdition,
we are become the children of God and the heirs of heaven:
have mercy on all the faithful in their agony,
and on me also when I shall be in that extremity,
and, through the merits of Thy Precious Blood,
detach us entirely from the world and from ourselves,
and at the moment of our agony give us grace
sincerely to offer Thee the sacrifice of our life in expiation of our sins.
Amen.
