O Lord Jesus Christ, who desire that all be saved and not one lost, with your own divine voice you said: Whatever you ask from the Father shall be done for you. Grant that your servant Herman may pass the final hours of his life with fullness of mind, a pure conscience, and in repentance of heart for any sins he has committed against you. Grant him perfect faith, strong hope, and the fullness of love, that with purity of heart he may say: I commit my soul into your hands, O Lord, who are blessed unto all ages. Amen.
