Prayers for the approach of death

1. When, exhausted by illness, I sense that the end of my earthly existence is approaching: Lord, have mercy upon me.


2. When my poor heart, beating its last, is languishing and pining in the pangs of death: Lord, have mercy upon me.


3. When for the last time, my eyes fill with tears at the thought that with sins throughout my life I have offended Thee, O God: Lord, have mercy upon me.


4. When my rapid heartbeat speeds the departure of my soul: Lord, have mercy upon me.


5. When my face‘s deadly pallor and my cooling body strikes fear into those dear to me: Lord, have mercy upon me.
