The Essential Viduy
(Final Confession) in English
(This is the minimum text a person says if death seems near.)
“I acknowledge before You, Lord my G‑d and the G‑d of my fathers, that my recovery and my death are in Your hands. May it be Your will that You heal me with total recovery. But if I die, may my death be an atonement for all the errors, iniquities, and willful sins that I have committed before You. Grant me my share in the Garden of Eden, and the merit to abide in the World to Come which is reserved for the righteous.”
