Through this anguish and grief, I beg of Thee Lord Jesus,
to have mercy on me at the hour of my death when my mind will be greatly troubled and my soul will
be in anguish. Amen.

Fourteenth Prayer

Oh 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 with 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 of Thee
oh King of Saints, comfort me and help me 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 hour of my death to receive
me, a pilgrim and an exile returning to Thee. Amen.

Fifteenth Prayer

Oh Jesus! True and fruitful Vine! Remember the abundant outpouring of Blood which Thou didst so
generously shed from Thy Sacred Body as juice from grapes in a wine press.

From Thy Side, pierced with a lance by a soldier, blood and water issued forth until there was not
left in Thy Body a single drop, and finally, like a bundle of myrrh lifted to the top of the Cross
Thy delicate Flesh was destroyed the very Substance of Thy Body withered, and the Marrow of Thy
Bones dried up.
Through this bitter Passion and through the outpouring
of Thy Precious Blood, I beg of Thee, oh Sweet Jesus, to receive my soul when I am in
my death agony. Amen.

Conclusion

Oh Sweet Jesus! Pierce my heart so that my tears of penitence and love will be my bread day and
night; may I be converted entirely to Thee, may my heart be Thy perpetual habitation, may my
conversation be pleasing to Thee, and may the end of my life be so praiseworthy that I may
merit Heaven and there with Thy saints, praise
Thee forever. Amen.
