My Lord, Lord! Accept this humble prayer of mine. Deliver me from sudden death, but before the onset of my death for the sake of cleansing my many sins, for the sake of bringing true repentance and parting words with the holy Sacraments, for the sake of Christian transition into eternal, blissful life, in spiritual peace, grant me, Most Blessed Lord, to endure a terminal illness without unbearable suffering, without grumbling, with gratitude. Grant that those around me wisely and in good graces can serve me in the bed of my illness in Your name and through this holy deed gain Your favor and eternal salvation. For you want to save everyone, All-Merciful and Blessed forever. Amen.
