137. Prayer for a Happy Death

100 Days, once a day. (See Instructions, p. 1.) JESUS, while adoring thy last breath, I pray 'Thee to receive mine. In the uncertainty whe- ther I shall have the command of my senses, when I shall depart out of this world, I offer Thee from this moment my agony and all the pains of my passing away. Thou art my FATHER and my Sa- VIOUR, and I give back my soul into thy hands. I desire that my last moment may be united to the moment of thy death, and that the last beat of my heart may be an act of pure love of Thee. Amen
