A Prayer of Those Present for a Person in the Agonies of Death

O ALMIGHTY And benignant God, who art our stay and staff in the shadow of death, we pray Thee to visit this sick person, his body and soul, with Thy mercy, and graciously to forgive all his sins. Take the sacrifice of the innocent death of Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son, as payment for his transgressions, since he was baptized in Christ’s name and cleansed by His blood. Therefore, deliver him. we pray Thee, from bodily pains or shorten them; sustain him against the accusations of conscience and all attacks of the wicked one, that he may fight a good fight and overcome. Grant him a blessed departure for the life everlasting, send Thy holy angels that they escort him to the gathering of the elect in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen.
