That thou wouldst grant me the grace heartily to forgive all those who have offended me, and to satisfy to the utmost of my power whoever hath suffered the least prejudice by me,

That being thus reconciled to thee, and to all the world, I may, with assured hope and steadfast faith, receive the sacrament of thy blessed body, and by the strength of that heavenly food, cheer my fainting spirits, and continue with joy in thy favour to the end,

That a patient submission under the pains of my sickness may expiate the punishment due to my sins, diminish my love of this world, and increase my desire of the next,

That in whatever thy providence hath ordained concerning me, I may readily acquiesce, and both in life and death, be always thine,

Son of God,

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

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Hear me, O Lord.

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

Lord, have mercy on me. Christ, have mercy on me.

Lord, have mercy on me.

Our Father, etc.

O Lord hear my prayer,

And let my cry come unto thee.

LET US PRAY.

ALMIGHTY and eternal God, in whose hands are life and death, whose infinite wisdom disposes all things advantageously for those who love thee;
