 That thou  wouldst  grant  me  the  grace  heartily to forgive  all  those  who  have  offended  me,  and to satisfy  to  the  utmost  of  my  power  whoever hath suffered  the  least  prejudice  by  me,

That being  thus  reconciled  to  thee,  and  to  all  the world, I may,  with  assured  hope  and  steadfast faith, receive  the  sacrament  of  thy  blessed body, and  by  the  strength  of  that  heavenly food, cheer  my  fainting  spirits,  and  continue with joy  in  thy  favour  to  the  end,

That a patient  submission  under  the  pains  of  my sickness  may  expiate  the  punishment  due  to my  sins,  diminish  my  love  of  this  world,  and increase my  desire  of  the  next,

That in  whatever  thy  providence  hath  ordained concerning me,  I may  readily  acquiesce,  and both in  life  and  death,  be  always  thine,

Son of  God,

Lamb of  God,  who  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world, ''Spare me,  O Lord. ''

Lamb of  God,  who  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world, Hear me, O Lord.

Lamb of  God,  who  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world, ''Have mercy  on  me. ''

Lord, have  mercy  on  me. Christ, have mercy  on  me.

Lord, have  mercy  on  me.

Our Father,  etc.

O Lord hear  my  prayer,

And let  my  cry  come  unto  thee.

LMIGHTY and  eternal  God,  in  whose  hands  are life and  death,  whose  infinite  wisdom  disposes all things  advantageously  for  those  who  love  thee;
