107. For those who led Negligent Lives before their Illness.

Ant. Before I was troubled I went wrong: but now have I kept Thy word. The living, the living, he shall praise Thee: As I do this day.

O GOD, Who hast mercifully appointed the sufferings of this present world as a means of awakening us to the responsibility of our earthly life, grant that those who are now visited with sickness [especially ], may by this

Thy visitation be fully converted unto Thee, and realizing at length Thy love so as to obey Thy call with deep contrition for their past neglect of Thee, may return to Thy Fatherly protection so as to be healed for evermore from sin and all its consequences, and rejoice before Thee in everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
