Prayer of Today for Tomorrow

Eternal Father, today, while I am fully conscious, totally lucid and completely free, 
I offer You my life with all its mysteries and sufferings.

Indeed, Eternal Father, I offer You my life as an ultimate act of love, 
as an act of infinite gratitude, as an act of faith in Your mercy.

My God and Father, accept this prayer I am making to You now
 for the day when You will call me back to you.

If I am conscious  at the final moment of my life, if anguish and doubt assail me, 
if medication prevents me from thinking of You, 
I want my last heartbeat to be an act of perfect love,
telling You with Jesus,
"Into Your hands, I commend my spirit".

-Amen
