Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O HOLY Virgin! thou art my good Mother, and by excellence, the Mother of pure love. Thou hast obtained for me many graces during the course of my life; be pleased to obtain one favor more, which will crown all the rest—this is to love my God—to love Him purely, to love Him ardently, to love Him constantly as long as I shall remain on earth—that I may have the happiness of loving Him eternally with thee in heaven. Amen.
