Or in English thus. E that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of heaven. He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust. For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word. He will overshadow thee with his shoulders and under his wings thou shalt trust. His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night. Of the arrow that flieth by day; of the business that walketh about in the dark; of invasion, or of the noon day devil. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand : but it shall not come nigh to thee. But thou shalt consider with thy eyes and shalt see the reward of the wicked. Because thou, O Lord, art my hope thou hast made the Most High thy refuge. There shall no evil come near to thee nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling. For he hath given his angels a charge concerning thee: to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands: lest thou dash thy foot. against a stone. Thou shalt walk upon the asp, and the basilisk and thou shalt trample upon the lion and the dragon. Because he hath hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me and I will hear him I am with him in his trouble: I will deliver him and will glorify him... I will fill him with length of days and will shew him my salvation. i.

O God, whose property is always to have mercy and to spare; receive our petition that we, and this thy servant, who are bound by the chain of sins, may by the compassion of thy goodness, mercifully be absolved. the power O God, who art the singular refuge of human infirmity, shew forth of thy protection upon this thy servant that being assisted by the help of thy mercy, he may with safety and health be restored again to thy holy Church. Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord God, that this thy servant may enjoy perpetual health of body and peace of mind; and that by the intercession of the ever blessed Virgin Mary, he may be delivered from his present sorrow, and obtain eternal joy. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

INgravescente morbo sacerdos infirmum frequenter visitabit, et ad salutem diligenter juvare non desinet ; monebitque instante periculo se confestim vocari, ut præsto sit morienti. Sumpto autem sanctissimo Viatico, et extremâ Unctione; si videat infirmum ad exitum suum properare, statim commendationem animæ, quantâ poterit devotione, super eum recitet: admo· neatque domesticos et circumstantes, ut simul orent pro moriente. 2 ་་ Excitet etiam infirmum, dùm mente viget, ut eliciat actus fidei, spei, charitatis, et aliarum virtutum, nempè, Ut firmiter credat omnes articulos fidei, et quidquid Sancta Romana Catholica et Apostolica Ecclesia credit et docet. Ut speret Christum Dominum nostrum pro suâ immensâ clementiâ sibi fore propitium, et merito ejus sanctissimæ passionis, et per intercessionem beatæ Mariæ et omnium sanctorum se ritam æternam consecuturum. |
