Master of the First Prayerbook of Maximilian, Pentecost, Hours of Queen Isabella the Catholic, about 1500. Cleveland Museum of Art.
Come, O Holy Spirit, the solace and strength of my soul, that I may courageously resist all temptations. Shall I, then, repeat, knowingly and willingly, this sin N? Alas! too frequently have I fallen into it, but I hope for constant improvement from this day forward. Assist me by the help of thy grace, O Holy Spirit, so will I “walk upon the asp and the basilisk, and will tread under me the lion and the dragon.”
