THE JESUS PSALTER
Begin by kneeling devoutly,
or bowing, at the adorable Name of Jesus, saying: THE SECOND PART NINTH PETITION
Jesus, grant me the grace always to remember my death, and the account which I am then to give, so that my soul, being always well-disposed, may depart out of this world in Thy grace. Then, by the holy intercession of Thy Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph, and the assistance of the glorious Saint Michael, deliver me from the enemy of my soul; and do thou, my good Angel, I beseech thee, help me at that most solemn hour.
Then, dear Jesus, remember Thy mercy, and turn not Thy most lovable face away from me because of my offenses. Prepare me for that day, by causing me now to die daily to all earthly things, and so to have my conversation continually in Heaven. Let the
remembrance of my death teach me how to esteem
my life; and the memory of Thy resurrection encourage me to meet my
death
with cheerfulness. Have mercy
also on the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for Thy
bitter Passion, I beseech Thee, and for Thy glorious Name, Jesus.
