If lonely or forsaken,
By friends thou art forgot,
Thy Spouse, she doth remind thee,
"Is one that changeih not."
When hope within thee wavers,
And distant seems the goal,
How patience winneth all things,
She tells thy weary soul,
That nothing in the wide world
Is needful unto one
Whose happy soul possesses
God's own eternal Son.
To drink the living waters
At any cost or price,
To quench thy thirst she whispers,
"God only doth suffice"
Oh! sweet, seraphic Mother.
May these dear words of thine
Help to unite me closer
Unto my Spouse divine.
Indulgenced Prayer and Ejaculations for a Happy Death
PRAYER
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. O my God, I have certainly to die, but I know not when, how, or where I shall die; this only I know: that if I die in mortal sin, I shall be lost for ever. Amen.
Most blessed Virgin Mary, holy Mother of God, pray for me, a sinner, now and at the hour of my death. Amen.
Ejaculations
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, assist me in my last agony.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, may I breathe forth my soul in peace with you.
300 days, every time. 100 days for saying one of these ejaculations. — Pius VII, April 28, 1807.
