Blessing of the Hour, Aspiration: All For Thee, Sweet Jesus, A Shorter Version of Blessing of the Hour, O Gentlest Heart of Jesus

Blessing of the Hour

To be prayed every hour on the hour of each day:
(Or as near to the beginning of the hour as possible.)

Jesus, this hour I give to Thee.
For all the past, please pardon me.
I know that I shall soon depart,
So hide me in Thy Sacred Heart.

O most Merciful Jesus, Lover of Souls,
I pray Thee by the agony of Thy most Sacred Heart,
To wash in Thy Blood the sinners, the human beings, of the whole world
Who are now in their agony and are to die this day. Amen.

Heart of Jesus, once in agony, have mercy on the dying.

Aspirations:  "Let me live and die, oh my Jesus, in the Kiss of Your Love!"  (Say anytime but especially when receiving Holy Communion (Holy Eucharist)).

                       All for Thee, Sweet Jesus, all for Thee.

Shorter Version of Blessing of the Hour

Jesus, this hour I give to Thee for the sinners, the human beings, of the whole world
Who are now in their agony and are to die this day.
May You wash them in Your Precious Blood and send them straight on home to Your Heaven,
Where they may be with Thee in Eternity forever and ever.  Amen
Heart of Jesus, once in agony, have mercy on the dying.

O Gentlest Heart of Jesus

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor suffering souls in purgatory and hell, have mercy on the soul(s) of Thy departed servant(s), [mention names of departed servant(s)]. Be not severe in Thy Judgment but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the poor suffering souls in purgatory and hell, and do Thou, O Merciful Savior, send Thine angels to conduct Thy departed servant(s) to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

And may the departed souls of every human being from Adam and Eve to the present time, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
