 die in  that  safe  asylum  of  peace and love,  that  even  when  I  slumber, I  may  say  with  the  holy Spouse, "I  sleep,  but  my  heart watches."

Holy Mary,  my  Mother,  remember that  I  am  thine. Protect, me, defend me,  as  thy  property  and possession.

My faithful  Angel  guardian, watch over  me;  St.  Vincent,  pray for me.

Kissing your crucifix  with  reverence  and  love, adore your  dying  Saviour,  fold  your  hands  across your breast,  recall  the  subject  of  meditation,  and compose yourself  to  sleep  with  some  such  prayer  as:

ATHER, into  Thy  hands,  I commend  my  spirit!

Jesus, Mary,  Joseph! I give  you my heart  and  my  soul!
