commission or omission; an increase of thy divine grace, an ardent love of thy sovereign goodness; and a happy death, fortified with all the rites and sacraments of the holy Church: humbly begging that thy holy hand may this day, and all the days of our life, preserve us from all sin and danger: in fine, that we may be such as thou desirest, in every thought, word and action of our life and death.
We also offer it for those to whom we are under any obligation; for those for whom we have promised to pray, or for whom thou desirest us to pray: that we may be perfected in virtue: and lastly, for the conversion of souls and for the whole universal Church, that we may all, according to our degrees and calling, serve thee in sanctity and perfection all the days of our life.
The satisfactory part we gladly offer for the souls in Purgatory, especially for those to whose sufferings there we have been in any way accessary; for this reason chiefly, that seeing we are so ungrateful to thee upon earth, we may, by this means, prove instrumental in others' loving thee most fervently in heaven. Amen.
THE LORD'S PRAYER.
OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.
THE ANGELICAL SALUTATION.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou amongst women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
