Our Father, &c

O Lord Jesus Christ, I humbly adore the most sacred wound in thy right hand. I give thee thanks for that cruel pain, endured for me with so much love and cha- rity. I condole with thee in thy torments, and with thy most afflicted Mother.

Grant me a firm and resolute will in all things relating to my salvation. Bless me with the grace of final perseverance, to secure the en- joyment of that glory which was purchased with the price of thy most precious blood.

Grant likewise, O Jesus, peace and relief to the souls in purgatory ; and daily advance thy holy servants in this world, in the paths of virtue and perfection (especially those who are of this confraternity). PRATERS FOR A HAPPY DEATH. Out Father, &c.

O Lord Jesus Christ, I most humbly adore the sacred wound in thy blessed side. I give thee thanks for the exceeding love manifested towards us at the opening of thy sacred heart.

Grant me a pure and perfect charity, that loving thee above all things, and all things for thy sake, my soul may breathe its last in the purest senti- ments of divine love. I humbly beg of thee, O Jesus, to protect thy holy Catholic Church, to direct thy go- verning Vicar upon earth, and all ecclesiastical orders and pious persons who are instrumental in bringing souls to their duty. Preserve in thy holy service all Christian Kings and Princes. Bring back into the way of salvation all those who have gone astray, whether through malice or ignorance. Subject unto thy sacred yoke all infidels, heretics, and all the enemies of thy holy Name. Our Father, &c. Let us pray.

O Lord Jesus Christ, God of my heart; by those five wounds, which thy love for us inflicted on thee, succour thy servants whom thou hast redeemed with thy preci- ous blood. Amen
