Lord Jesus Christ,
I accept this sleep 
in the spirit of love 
with which Thou didst sanctify it 
when Thou didst deign to sleep 
in Thy most sacred humanity, 
to the glory of God the Father, 
and for the salvation of all mankind; 
beseeching that, in union with Thee, 
it may tend to increase 
in grace and glory 
of all Thine Elect in heaven, 
on earth, and in purgatory.

Amen.
