 all Thy strength, both moral and physical, was entirely exhausted. Thou didst bow Thy head saying: "All is consummated!"

Through this anguish and grief, I beg of Thee, O Lord, to have mercy on me at the hour of my death, when my mind will be greatly troubled and my soul will be in anguish. Amen.  

O Jesus! only Son of the Father, Splendor and Figure of His substance, remember the simple and humble recommendation Thou didst make of Thy soul to Thy Eternal Father, saying: "Father, into Thy hands I commend my Spirit", and when Thy Body, all torn, and Thy Heart broken, and the bowels of Thy mercy open to redeem us, Thou didst expire. By this precious death, I beg Thee, O King of Saints, comfort me and give me help to resist the devil, the flesh and the world, so that, being dead to the world, I may live for Thee alone. I beg of Thee at the hour of my death, to receive me, a pilgrim and an exile returning to Thee. Amen.
