Have pity on him (her)! Behold his (her) great need! Hear his (her) sighs! Behold his (her) pains and grievous death-agony!
Behold the danger to his (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 him (her) in this his (her) dire necessity. Purify him (her) from every stain;
strengthen him (her) with Thy grace; and permit him (her) to appear before Thy holy face in company with all Thy angels.
Allow him (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.
