 O my dear  Lord! my whole  life  shall  be  nothing but a desire  of  thee; and  because  I indeed  love  thee, I will most  diligently  keep  thy  commandments.

Jesus, grant  me  grace  to  remember  my  death.

Jesus, grant  me  grace  always  to  remember  my death,  and  the  great  account  I am  then  to  give; that so my  soul  being  well  disposed,  it  may  depart  out  of this  world  in  thy  grace.

Then by  the  holy  intercession  of. thy blessed Mother, and  the  assistance  of  St.  Joseph  and  the glorious St.  Michael,  deliver  me  from  the  enemy  of my  soul; and  thou,  my  good  angel,  I beseech  thee, help me  at  that  most  important  hour.

Then, dear  Jesus,  remember  thy  mercy,  and  turn not thy  most  amiable  face  from  me  because  of  my offences. Secure me  against  the  terrors  of  that  day, by causing  me  now  to  die  daily  to  all  earthly  things, and to  have  my  conversation  continually  in  heaven.

Let the  remembrance  of  thy  death  teach  me  how to esteem  my  life; and  the  memory  of  thy  resurrection encourage  me  to  descend  cheerfully  into  the grave.

Have mercy  on  all  sinners,  etc.  (page  386.)

Jesus, send  me  here  my  purgatory,  and  thus  prevent the  torments  of  that  cleansing  fire  which  attend
