psalm 23

I

The LORD is my shepherd; 
there is nothing I lack. 
In green pastures he makes me lie down; 
to still waters he leads me; 
he restores my soul.

He guides me along right paths 
for the sake of his name.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; 
your rod and your staff comfort me.

II

You set a table before me 
in front of my enemies; 
You anoint my head with oil; 
my cup overflows.

Indeed, goodness and mercy will pursue me
all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the LORD 
for endless days. 
Psalm 23

Hail Mary

 https://www.catholic.com/tract/hail-mary

"Hour of Our Death

This prayer is especially powerful because it includes our whole life from the present instant, “now,” to our last instant: “the hour of our death.” Someday those two moments will become the same moment, our last. How blessed we will be in that hour to have prayed this wonderful prayer faithfully and often, echoing heaven and all the faithful on earth down through the ages!"
