ivine Jesus,  incarnate  Son  of  God,  Who for our  salvation  didst  vouchsafe  to  be  , born in  a  stable,  to  pass  Thy  life  in  poverty, trials, and  misery,  and  to  die  amid  the  sufferings of  the  cross,  I  entreat  Thee,  say  to  Thy divine Father  at  the  hour  of  my  death: Father, forgive  him;  say  to  Thy  beloved mother: Behold  thy  son;  say  to  my  soul: This day  thou  shalt  he  with  Me  in  paradise. My God,  my  God,  forsake  me  not  in  that hour. I thirst:  yes,  my  God,  my  soul  thirsts after Thee,  Who  art  the  fountain  of  living waters. My life  passes  like  a  shadow;  yet a little  while,  and  all  will  be  consummated. Wherefore, O  my  adorable  Saviour! from this moment,  for  all  eternity,  into  Thy  hands I commend  my  spirit. Lord Jesus,  receive  my soul. Amen.
