Through
the bitter Passion of thy Son,
Through the piercing anguish of thy heart,

Through thy heavy weight of woe,
Through thy sadness and desolation,

Through thy maternal pity,
Through thy perfect resignation,
Through
thy meritorious prayers,
From immoderate sadness,
From a cowardly
spirit,
From an impatient temper,
From fretfulness and discontent,

From sullenness and gloom,
From despair and unbelief,
From final
impenitence,
We sinners, beseech thee, hear
us.
Preserve us from sudden death, we beseech thee, hear us.
Teach us how to
die, we beseech thee, hear us.

Succor us in our last agony, etc.

Bring us to a happy end,
Gain for us the
gift of perseverance,
Aid us before the Judgment Seat,

Jesus Christ, God and Man, grant, we beseech Thee, that Thy dear Mother Mary,
whose soul the sword pierced in the hour of Thy Passion, may intercede for us,
now, and in the hour of our death, through Thine Own merits, O Saviour of the
world, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit livest and reignest, God, world
without end. R. Amen.
