At the Hour of Death

O most merciful Heart of Jesus,
I beg You to grant to ____________,
whom You love, 
to unite his/her heart to Yours.
Wash away with Your most precious Blood 
all the sins he/she has committed 
and for which he/she fears there may still be guilt.

Make his/her sufferings meritorious unto salvation. 
He/she wishes to pray in this manner: 

O Almighty God, I give You my body and soul for time and eternity. 
Forgive me all the sins that I have ever committed. 
I am sorry, I love You. 
I believe that Your divine Son became man and died for my sins. 
I believe that there are three persons in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 
I trust in You, Lord Jesus, to Save me. 
Lord Jesus, grant me eternal salvation 
that I may be with You forever in the eternal bliss of my heavenly home. 
Amen.

Death to Life

Jesus Christ, may your death be my life
and in your dying may I learn how to live.
May your struggles be my rest,
Your pain my courage,
Your embarrassment my honor,
Your passion my delight,
Your sadness my joy.
In a word, may I find all my blessings in your trials.
Amen.
