Meditation:
I picture in my mind that I am sitting in the hospital next to my loved one's bed watching their breathing and the moment when it will stop. It is final.
Prayer:
My Jesus, I kiss devoutly the Cross on which Thou didst die for me. Thy death is my hope. By the merits of Thy death, give me grace to die embracing Thy feet and burning with love for Thee.
The Way of the Cross of Saint Alphonsus Liquori
