O Lord, into your
most merciful hands I commend my body and soul,
thoughts and acts, desires and intentions. I commend
the needs of my body and soul, future and past, my
faith and hope, the end of my life, the day and hour of
my death, the burial and resurrection of my body. O
most merciful God, whose clemency the sins of the world
can never transcend, take me, a sinner, under the wings
of Your protection and deliver me from every evil.
cleanse my iniquities, grant me a reformation of my
life, and protect me against future transgressions,
that I may in no manner ever anger You. Shelter my
weakness from passions and evil persons, guard me
against my visible and invisible enemies, lead me on
the road of salvation and to Yourself, the safe harbor
and haven of my desires. Grant me a happy, peaceful,
Christian death, and protect me from evil spirits. Be
merciful to me, your servant, at the great judgment,
and number me among the blessed flock who stand on your
right, that, together with them, I may forever glorify
You, my Creator. Amen.
