Prayer
Divine Jesus, incarnate Son of God, Who for our salvation didst vouchsafe to be , born in a stable, to pass Thy life in poverty, trials, and misery, and to die amid the sufferings of the cross, I entreat Thee, say to Thy divine Father at the hour of my death: Father, forgive him; say to Thy beloved mother: Behold thy son; say to my soul: This day thou shalt he with Me in paradise. My God, my God, forsake me not in that hour. I thirst: yes, my God, my soul thirsts after Thee, Who art the fountain of living waters. My life passes like a shadow; yet a little while, and all will be consummated. Wherefore, O my adorable Saviour! from this moment, for all eternity, into Thy hands I commend my spirit. Lord Jesus, receive my soul. Amen.
Indulgence of 300 days, every time. — Pius IX, June 10, 1856.
