Commendation of a Departing Soul (Proficiscere, anima christiana)
Depart, O Christian soul, out of this miserable world, in the name of God the Father Almighty, who created thee; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who suffered for thee; in the name of the Holy Ghost, who sanctified thee; in the name of the glorious and holy Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary; in the name of Blessed Joseph, the illustrious spouse of the Blessed Virgin; in the name of the Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations, Cherubim and Seraphim: in the name of the patriarchs and prophets, of the holy apostles and evangelists, of the holy martyrs and confessors, of the holy monks and hermits, of the holy virgins and of all the Saints of God; let thy place be this day in peace, and thy abode in holy Sion: Through the same Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
