Offering of one’s own life to the Will of God
at the moment of death

My sweet Jesus, I want to die in your Will: I unite my agony to Yours, and may your agony be my strength, my defense, my light and the sweet smile of your forgiveness.

I place my last breath in your last breath, which You gave for me on the Cross, so that I may present myself before You with the merits of your own death. And since You died for all, I too, dying in your Will, will be able to die for all, and renew the effects of your own death, especially for those who expire with me - yes, I want to bring with me the court of souls.

Please, O my Jesus, open the Heavens for me, and come toward me to receive me with the same love with which your Father received You, when You breathed your last on the Cross; then, bring me with You into Heaven, holding me tightly in your arms; and I will kiss You and kiss You over and over again, and delight eternally in You.

My Mama, Angels and Saints, come to my assistance, as you were present at the death of Jesus: help me, defend me, and bring me to Heaven. Amen.
