Albrecht Dürer, The Agony in the Garden, 1508. Art Institute of Chicago.
O MY God! see me prostrate at the foot of thy cross, sprinkled with thy adorable blood. Ah! that blood pleads for me and implores mercy and forgiveness. O Father of mercies! in the name of thy beloved Son, by the merits of his sacred passion, by his scourging and crowning with thorns, by his blood, his agony, his death, look upon my sinful soul with an eye of pity and compassion. I repent of my sins, O Lord, I am sorry for them from the bottom of my heart, because they have offended thee, the sovereign good, who art infinitely perfect, and worthy of being adored, loved, obeyed, served, and honoured. I firmly resolve, with the assistance of thy holy grace, never to offend thee again. I desire to abandon every occasion of sin, to commence a new life, to love thee with my whole heart and soul, and to die rather than offend thee. Amen.
