Prayer for day 5

I. O most glorious Saint Andrew Avellino, whom God has made our protector against apoplexy, seeing that thou thyself didst die of that disease, we earnestly pray thee to preserve us from an evil so dangerous and so common. Pray an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. V. By the intercession of Saint Andrew, stricken with apoplexy. R. From a sudden and unprovided death, deliver us, O Lord. II. O most glorious Saint, if ever, by the just judgment of God, we should be stricken with apoplexy, we earnestly beseech thee to obtain for us time enough to receive the Last Sacraments and die in the grace of God. Pray an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. V. By the intercession of Saint Andrew, stricken with apoplexy. R. From a sudden and unprovided death, deliver us, O Lord. III. O most glorious Saint, who didst endure, before dying, a terrible agony through the assaults of the devil, from which the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Michael delivered thee, we earnestly beseech thee to assist us in the tremendous moment of our death. Pray an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. V. By the intercession of Saint Andrew, stricken with apoplexy. R. From a sudden and unprovided death, deliver us, O Lord.
