Martin Schongauer, The Archangel Michael Piercing the Dragon, about 1475. Cleveland Museum of Art.
DELIVER us, we beseech thee, O Lord! in thy clemency, from the chains of our sins, and protect us thy servants, and our dwellings in all holiness, by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of thy Blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul, and of all the saints; cleanse from iniquity all our relations and friends, and adorn them with virtues: grant us peace and health, and preserve us from our enemies, visible and invisible; drive away carnal desires, give healthful temperature to the air we breathe, grant us charity towards both friends and enemies. Protect thy city; preserve our chief Pontiff [name him]; defend from every adversity all prelates and princes, and the whole Christian people. May thy blessing be always upon us, and grant eternal rest to all the faithful departed, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
