The Bedford Master, Pentecost, book of hours, about 1420. Cleveland Museum of Art.
Accept, O holy Father, Almighty and Eternal God, these prayers which I Thy unworthy servant offer unto Thee, my true and living God, for my innumerable sins, offences, and negligences, and for all faithful Christians, living and dead, especially my kindred, and such as I am especially bound to pray for, that they may be profitable unto my salvation and theirs unto life eternal. Amen.
God the Father, ✠ bless me; Jesus Christ defend me; the virtue of the Holy Ghost enlighten me and sanctify me now; and for evermore.
✠ Glory be to the Father, and ✠ to the Son, and ✠ to the Holy Ghost; now and for evermore.
