Resignation to the Will of God in Death
A sure means of salvation
From the writings of St. Francis de Sales,
Bishop and Doctor of the Church: "Many people are
tormented at death with the remembrance of their
sins, and seeing that they have done no penance,
are tempted to despair." He tells us that there
is a perfect remedy – Namely, "to accept death
and unite your death with that of Jesus Christ.
And I do not at all doubt that he who is grieved
for having offended God and accepts death
willingly in satisfaction for his sins will immediately obtain pardon."
From the book "Preparation For Death" by St.
Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of
the Church: "To accept death in order that the
will of God may be fulfilled, merits for us a
reward similar to that of the martyrs, because
they accepted death to please God. He who dies in
union with the will of God makes a holy death;
and the more closely he is united to it, the more
holy death he dies. The Venerable Blosius
declares that an act of perfect conformity to the
will of God at the hour of death not only
delivers us from Hell but also from Purgatory."
Prayer of Resignation in Death
My most sweet Jesus, I accept the death Thou has
destined for me; with all the pains that may
accompany it; I unite it to Thy death, I offer it
to Thee. Thou hast died for love of me; I will
die for love of Thee and to please Thee.
It is recommended that you say this prayer daily
as we do not know the day of our death, and what
a blessing it would be to have said it on our last day.
You are urged to order this card for distribution
for the greater honor and glory of our Dear Lord
and for the salvation of souls.
"Time spent in honor of God and for the salvation
of souls is never badly spent." – Saint Padre Pio

Lord, may everything we do begin with Your
inspiration and continue with Your help,
so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be happily ended.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
