Our Father
Hail Mary
The Apostles Creed
COME, O HOLY GHOST,
fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray, O God, who didst instruct the heart of the faithful by the light of Thy Holy Spirit; grant that, by the gift of the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
[Let us place ourselves in the presence of God, and give Him thanks for all the benefits which we have received from Him, particularly this day.]
O MY GOD,
I firmly believe that Thou art here present, and plainly seest me, and that Thou observest all my actions, all my thoughts, and the most secret motions of my heart. Thou watchest over me with an incomparable love, every moment bestowing favours, and preserving me from evil. Blessed be Thy holy name; and may all creatures bless Thy goodness for the benefits which I have ever received from Thee, and particularly this day. May the saints and angels supply my defect in rending Thee due thanks. Never permit me to be so base and wicked as to repay Thy bounties with ingratitude and Thy blessings with offences and injuries. Amen
[Let us ask of our Lord Jesus Christ grace to discover the sins which we have committed this day, and beg of Him a true sorrow for them, and a sincere repentance.]
O MY LORD JESUS CHRIST, JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD,
before whom I must appear one day to give an exact account of my whole life; enlighten me, I beseech Thee, and give me a humble and contrite heart, that I may see wherein I have offended Thine infinite Majesty, and judge myself now with such a just severity, that then Thou mayest judge me with mercy and clemency. Amen
[Let us here examine what sins we have committed this day, by thought, word, deed or omission.]
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen

[If nothing occurs to your mind in which you have caused offences, renew your sorrow for the sins of your past life.]
[Let us conceive a great sorrow for having offended God.]
O MY GOD,
I detest these and all other sins which I have committed against Thy divine Majesty. I am extremely sorry that I have offended Thee because Thou art infinitely good, and sin displeaseth Thee. I love Thee with my whole heart; and firmly purpose, by the help of Thy grace, never more to offend Thee. I resolve to avoid the occasions of sin; I will confess my sins, and will endeavour to make satisfaction for them. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, and pardon me, a wretched sinner. In the name of Thy beloved Son Jesus, I humbly beg of Thee so to wash me with His precious Blood, that my sins may be entirely remitted. Amen
[Let us endeavor, as far as possible, to put ourselves in the disposition in which we desire to be found at the hour of death.]
O MY GOD,
I accept death as a homage and adoration which I owe to Thy divine Majesty, and as a punishment justly due to my sins, in union with the death of my dear Redeemer, and as the only means of coming to Thee, my beginning and last end.
I firmly believe all the sacred truths which the Catholic Church believeth and teacheth, because Thou hast revealed them. And by the assistance of Thy holy grace, I am resolved to live and die in the communion of this Thy Church.
Relying upon Thy goodness, power, and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, and life everlasting, through the merits of Thy Son Jesus Christ, my only Redeemer, and by the intercession of His blessed Mother and all the Saints.
I love Thee with all my heart and soul, and desire to love Thee as the blessed do in Heaven. I adore all the designs of Thy divine providence, resigning myself entirely to Thy will.
I also love my neighbour for thy sake, as I love myself. I sincerely forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
I renounce the devil, with all his works; the world, with all its pomps; the flesh, with all its temptations.
I desire to be dissolved, and to be with Christ.
Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul,
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, assist me in my last agony.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, may I breathe forth my soul in peace with you.
Lord Jesus, receive my soul.
May the blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and all the saints, pray for us to our Lord, that we may be preserved this night from sin and all evils. Amen
Blessed Saint Michael, defend us in the day of battle, that we may not be lost at the dreadful judgment. Amen
O my good Angel, whom God by His divine mercy hath appointed to be my guardian, enlighten and protect me, direct and govern me this night. Amen
May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting. Amen
May the almighty and mericiful Lord grant us pardon, absolution and remission of all our sins. Amen
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen
