Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O most holy and ever Blessed Virgin, Immaculate Mother of God! though unworthy to style myself thy servant, penetrated with a lively sense of thy ineffable goodness, and animated with an ardent desire of honouring thee, I choose thee this day as my Mother, my Guide, and my Advocate, and firmly resolve to consecrate myself henceforward irrevocably to thy service, and by every means in my power to induce others to devote themselves to thee. I conjure thee, then, O most Blessed Mother, by the Precious Blood shed for me by thy adorable Son, to receive me amongst those consecrated to thy perpetual service, and to obtain the grace so to direct all my thoughts, words, and actions, that I may never be so unfortunate as to wound thy maternal Heart, or that of my Eternal Father; above all, I beseech thee to shield me and all those I wish to pray for, by thy maternal protection, at the awful hour of death. Amen.
