for the anguish and love with which
you were on the cross of Jesus,

Offer the Eternal Father the most
Precious Blood of Jesus, mixed with
your tears on Calvary, that I may
obtain the grace to receive the Holy
Communion with the most perfect
love and contrition before my death,
and that I can exhale my soul
in the loving presence of Jesus.
Dear Mother, when the time comes
of my death has finally arrived,
introduce me as your child to Jesus.
ask him to forgive me for having
I offended you because I don't know what
I did. beg you to welcome me in
Your kingdom of glory will be united
with him forever. Amen."
