Let us pray
O Good and merciful God, hear the humble prayer which, with filial confidence, we present to Thee in behalf of this poor soul. Have pity on her! Behold her great need! Hear her sighs! Behold her pains and grievous death-agony! Behold the danger to her eternal salvation! By the inexhaustible merits of Jesus-Christ, by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin and of all the saints, have pity on this Thy creature. Deliver her in this her dire necessity. Purify her from every stain; strengthen her with Thy grace; and permit her to appear before Thy holy face in company with all Thy angels. Allow her to take possession of the kingdom Thou hast prepared for Thy elect from the beginning of the world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
