O most glorious Saint Andrew Avellino, whom God has made our protector against apoplexy, seeing that you yourself did die of that disease, we earnestly pray to you to preserve us from an evil so dangerous and so common.
By the intercession of St Andrew, stricken with apoplexy, from a sudden and unprovoked death, Deliver us, O Lord.
O most glorious saint, if ever by the just judgment of God we should be stricken by any fatal illness, we earnestly beseech you to obtain for us time enough to receive the Last Sacraments and die in the grace of God.

O most glorious saint, who didst endure, before dying, a terrible agony, through the assaults of the devil, from which the Blessed Virgin and St. Michael delivered you, we earnestly beseech you to assist us in the tremendous moment of our death.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.

St Andrew, pray for us. St Andrew, pray for us. St Andrew, pray for us.
