The “Prayer for Protection from Sudden Death” draws inspiration from St. Francis de Sales, Doctor of the Church, who taught believers to “keep death before our eyes” while trusting completely in God’s mercy. This prayer asks for the grace to live each day prepared to meet God, to receive the sacraments frequently, and to practice daily “dying to self” so that death may come as a friend rather than a stranger. It invokes the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, St. Joseph (patron of a happy death), and our guardian angels, while begging for the grace of final perseverance and a death precious in God’s sight, whenever and however it may come.
