Fourteenth Prayer

Our Father -- Hail Mary

   O Jesus! Only Son of the Father, Splendor and Figure of His Substance, remember the simple and humble recommendation Thou didst make of Thy soul to Thy eternal Father, saying, "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit," and when, Thy body all torn and Thy heart broken and the bowels of Thy mercy open to redeem us, Thou didst expire.

    By this precious death, I beg Thee, O King of Saints, to comfort me and give me help to resist the devil, the flesh, and the world, so that, being dead to the world, I may live for Thee alone, I beg of Thee at the hour of my death to receive me, a pilgrim and an exile, returning to Thee.   Amen.
