 me; blood of  Christ,  purify  me; water  issuing  from the side  of  Christ,  cleanse  me;  passion  of  Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus,  graciously  hear  me; within thy  sacred  wounds  hide  me; never  suffer  me to  be  separated  from  thee; at  the  hour  of  death  call me, and  command  me  to  come  to  thee,  that  thou mayest associate  me  with  the  angels  and  saints,  and the whole  choir  of  celestial  spirits,  to  sing  forth  canticles of  praise  and  glory  to  thy  holy  name  for  ever and ever. Amen. ,

ORD Jesus  Christ  who  in  thy  great  mercy  hast provided powerful  resources  for  Si  our  necessities, grant me  grace  to  have  recourse  to  them  with  such dispositions, that  my  soul  may  partake  of  all  those great advantages  and  salutary  effects,  which  thou hast appointed  in  their  institution. Thou hast  instituted the  sacrament  of  Extreme  Unction  for  the benefit of  the  sick,  who  in  their  extremity  stand  more particularly in  need  of  grace  and  consolation,  I now desire to  receive  this  heavenly  medicine*  for  the  ends for which  it  has  been  instituted. Grant, I beseech thee, that  this  holy  Unction  may  produce  in  me  all its happy  fruits; by  healing  my  soul,  by  fortifying me against  all  temptations,  by  supporting  me  in  the hour of  anguish  and  distress,  and  by  preparing  me for  a happy  passage,  or  for  whatever  may  be  thy holy will. If thou  foreseest  that  my  health  shall  be conducive  to  thy  greater  glory,  and  expedient  for my eternal  salvation,  let  this  be  the  means  to  restore it. I absolutely submit  to  thy  will: I wish  not  so much  to  live  as  to  serve  thee. Dispose of  me  as  thou knowest best; all  I desire  is  the  accomplishment  of thy  will: give  me  health  or  sickness,  life  or  death;
