Master of the First Prayerbook of Maximilian, The Mass of St. Gregory, Hours of Queen Isabella the Catholic, about 1500. Cleveland Museum of Art.
Thou, Lord, who once vouchsafedst to wash thy disciples’ feet, before their invitation to thy holy table, wash us also, we beseech thee, O Lord, and wash us again: not only our feet and hands, but our hearts, our desires, our souls, that we may be wholly innocent and pure.
Mercifully hear our prayers, O Lord, and graciously accept this oblation which we thy servants are making to thee; that as we offer it to the honour of thy name, so it may be to us a means of obtaining thy grace here, and in the next life, everlasting happiness, Amen.
