From every occasion and danger of sin,

From the snares of the devil,

From hardness of heart,

From impenitence,

From sudden and unforeseen death,

From everlasting damnation,

We sinners, Beseech thee hear us.

That thou wouldst vouchsafe to preserve us, by thy patronage, in true faith, hope, and charity, We beseech thee hear us.

That thou wouldst vouchsafe to obtain for us of thy Son perfect sorrow and penitence for our sins, We beseech thee hear us.

That thou wouldst vouchsafe to bring consolation and assistance to them that call upon thee, We beseech thee hear us.

That thou wouldst vouchsafe to succour us in the agony of death, We beseech thee hear us.

That thou wouldst vouchsafe to obtain for us a happy end, We beseech thee hear us.

Mother of God, We beseech thee hear us.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Lord.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us.

Christ, hear us.

Christ, graciously hear us.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Christ, have mercy on us.

Lord, have mercy on us.

V. In all our tribulation and distress,

R. Succour us, O most blessed Virgin Mary.

Let us pray.

Let the blessed Virgin Mary thy Mother, O Lord Jesus Christ, whose most holy soul was pierced in the hour of thy Passion with the sword of sorrow, intercede for us with thy mercy, now, and at the hour of our death. Through thee, O Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world, who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest world without end. Amen.
