Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
Said after the litany on Saturdays in some religious houses.
MOST Holy Virgin! Immaculate Queen! Mother of God! and our own dear Mother, Mary! Refuge of sinners! Comfortress of the afflicted! Prostrate at thy feet in the presence of thy heavenly court, we consecrate ourselves to thy service. We choose thee for our Mistress and our Queen; accept us for thy servants, and receive the offering of our bodies and souls, of our hearts and minds, of all that we are and possess. We offer thee this House and Community, our friends and relatives, and all who are entrusted to us.
Take us all under thy protection and give us thy blessing, O most dear Mother. Protect us against temptation, deliver us from danger, assist us in our infirmities, comfort us in our afflictions, preserve us from sin, and at the hour of our death, O come, dear Mother, and take our souls and bring them to paradise, that, in union with thee, we may praise God for ever. Amen.
