On Which Thou Wilt Pass Sentence on All Mankind

grant me that for which I now most humbly and heartily petition thee. [ Mention here the thing you desire , or reflect mentally upon it.] Give me, O gracious Saviour, speedily to experience thy divine succour and comfort, who, according to the accustomed sweetness of thy tender heart, art wont to grant the requests of those who fear and love thee, even to their soul’s desire and satisfaction; bestow on me also, O blessed Jesus, a constant faith, a firm hope, a perfect charity, a true contrition, a sincere confession, a full satisfaction, a diligent guarding of myself from future failings, a contempt of the world, a complete conquest of my passions, a zealous imitation of thy exemplary life and conversation, an entire accomplishment of my vows, an absolute mortification of my self-will, a willing readi- ness to die for thy love and honour, a final perseverance in grace and good works, a happy departure of my soul out of this world, with my perfect senses about me, and with thy holy sacraments to strengthen me ; thyself, O dear J esus, to comfort me ! thy sacred Virgin Mother, with the saints, my particular patrons, to pray for me ; and my good angel to conduct me to eternal rest and happiness. Amen
