at the hour of death.

love Thee with my whole heart.
I am heartily sorry for all the sins and faults
of my whole life. I forgive all that have injured
me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
0 my God, I am ready to accept and bear all
pains and sufferings, and even death itself with
, resignation to Thy Divine will and in punishment
for my sins. 0 my Jesus, I unite my sufferings
' to Thy most bitter torments. 0 Lord, here burn,
here cut; but spare me for eternity. My Jesus,

loving mercy, receive thy confession, and restore
to thee the first robe which thou didst receive in
Baptism: and I, by the power given, to me by the
Apostolic See, 'grant thee a plenary Indulgence
and remission of all thy sins. In the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Son, and the Holy Ghost! Amen.
