To be recited with three Our Fathers, and three Hail Marys in the agony of death. First is said:
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Our Father. Hail Mary.
Let us pray.
O Lord Jesus Christ, by Thy most sacred agony and by the prayer which Thou didst pour forth for us on the Mount of Olives, where Thy sweat became as drops of blood running down upon the earth, I beseech Thee to offer up the many drops of Thy bloody sweat, which in Thy fearful anguish Thou didst most abundantly shed for us, and graciously to present them to Thy Almighty Father, to be set against the many sins of this Thy servant N., and mercifully deliver him in this hour of his death from all the pains and sufferings which he fears he may justly have deserved for his sins. Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, God, world without end. R. Amen.
A second time is said:
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Our Father, Hail Mary
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst vouchsafe to die upon the Cross for us, I beseech Thee to offer up to Thy Almighty Father all the bitter pains and sufferings which Thou didst endure for us upon the Cross, especially in that hour when Thy most holy soul quitted Thy most sacred body; and present them in behalf of this Thy servant N., and deliver him in this hour of death from all the pains and sufferings which he fears he may justly have deserved for his sins. Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God, world without end. R. Amen.
A third time is said:
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Our Father, Hail Mary.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who by the mouth of Thy prophet hast said: “With everlasting love I have loved thee: therefore have I drawn thee graciously”: I beseech Thee to offer up this same love which drew Thee down from heaven to earth there to endure all the bitterness of Thy Passion and present it to Thy Almighty Father for the soul of this Thy servant N., and deliver him from all the pains and sufferings which he fears he has deserved for his sins. And save his soul in this hour of his departure. Open unto him the gates of life, and make him to rejoice with Thy saints in glory everlasting. And do Thou, O most merciful Lord Jesus Christ, Who hast redeemed us by Thy most Precious Blood, have mercy on the soul of this Thy servant, and vouchsafe to introduce him into the ever green and pleasant places of paradise, that he may live unto Thee in undivided love, and never be separated from Thee and Thine elect. Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost ever livest and reignest God, world without end. R. Amen.
