Albrecht Dürer, The Agony in the Garden, 1508. Art Institute of Chicago.
O my Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, who didst suffer an ignominious death on the cross for my redemption; I humbly offer up to thee my soul, my body, my life, my goods and all my fortunes, to be wholly disposed of, according to thy most blessed will. If it be to thy holy pleasure, that I should lose my life or fortunes, for the profession of thy Holy Name and the Catholic Religion, Lord, I humbly and freely submit thereunto; beseeching thee, of thy infinite goodness and mercy, and by the merits of thy bitter Passion and Death, to be pleased to forgive me my sins, to give me strength and patience to overcome all temptations and adversities; pardon all my enemies and persecutors, and all the injuries they have done me in thought, word, or deed; and make us all partakers of thy heavenly kingdom, who with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest one God, world without end. Amen.
