Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O MOST holy Virgin, Mother of the Word Incarnate, depository of graces, and refuge of us miserable sinners! we have recourse to thy maternal love with a lively faith, and we ask the grace to do always the will of God and thine. We resign ourselves into thy most sacred hands, and beg of thee to save us soul and body. We confidently hope that thou, O most loving Mother! wilt graciously hear us, and therefore with a lively faith we say:
Hail Mary, three times.
LET US PRAY.
PROTECT, we beseech thee, O Lord! thy servants from every frailty, by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary; and while we prostrate ourselves before thee with our whole hearts, mercifully preserve us from the snares of our enemies, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation.
