O Lord, into thy hands
and into the hands of thine holy angels,
I commit and entrust this day my soul,
my relatives, benefactors, friends and enemies,
and all thy Catholic people.
Keep us, O Lord, through the day,
by the merits and intercession
of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all thy saints;
keep us from all vicious and unruly desires,
from all sins and temptations of the devil,
from a sudden unprepared death,
and the pains of hell.
Illumine my heart with the grace of thy Holy Ghost.
Grant that I may ever be obedient to thy commandments.
Suffer me not to be separated from thee, O God,
who livest and reignest with God the Father
and the same Holy Ghost. Amen.
