Dear Jesus,
Thank you for the gift of life, and for the blessing to be among those who know that you are the son of God.
Thank you for the gift of sight that let me see the wondrous things You made, and for my soul to help me see beyond my sight.
Thank you for all the things and especially my heart which You placed magnetic seeds of seeds of grace that draw me forever to Your LOVE.
I know You hold me forever in the palm of Your hand and shield me with Your Holy Place. Yet as years pass by, Lord, I fear the yoke of sickness and pain and worry how my life will end.
And so I humbly come to ask You, Lord, that when my time comes to leave here below, do not call me by sudden death, not by accident that tears the body apart, not by illness that leaves the mind confused or the senses impaired; not at the mercy of evil forces, not with a heart filled with hate or a body racked with pain; not abandoned; lonely, without love or care, not by my own hand in a moment of despair.
Jesus, let death come as a gentle friend to sit and linger with me until You call my name.
Then let me enter Your Heavenly Home to receive Your final gift of grace to be near You forever and look upon the divine countenance on your Holy Face.
Amen.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."
Yes Lord. Thank you for the precious gift that you have given to us which is our life. God is good all the time. To God be the glory.
