O Master who lovestlove mankind, is this bed to be my coffin, or wiltwill ThouYou enlighten my wretched soul with another day? Behold, the coffin lies before me; behold, death confronts me. I fear ThyYour judgment, O Lord, and the endless torment; yet I do not cease to do evil.
I continually anger TheeYou, O Lord my God, and ThyYour most pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy guardian angel. I know, O Lord, that I am unworthy of ThyYour love for mankind, and worthy of all condemnation and torment. Yet, O Lord, whether I will it or not, save me. To save a righteous man is no great thing, and to have mercy on the pure is nothing wonderful, for they are worthy of ThyYour mercy. Show forth the wonder of ThyYour mercy on me, a sinner. In this, reveal ThyYour love for mankind, that my wickedness may not overcome ThineYour ineffable goodness and mercy. Order my life as ThouYou wiltwill. Amen.
