A Prayer for a Peaceful Death
Praying for a holy and peaceful death — the grace of the ars moriendi tradition of the late Middle Ages — is one of the oldest requests in Christian devotion, echoed daily in the Hail Mary.
Lord Jesus, when my hour comes, do not let me face it alone.
Take the fear. Ease the body. Let me be at peace with the people I love and with you.
Forgive what needs forgiving. Let nothing go unsaid that should be said.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for me now and at the hour of my death.
Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit. Amen.
