Albrecht Dürer, Sudarium Displayed by Two Angels, 1513. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O Lord Jesus Christ, give us Thy grace carefully to examine our conduct during this day Make known to us if we have been guilty of offending Thee during those hours which should have been given up entirely to innocent rest and spiritual rejoicing. Discover to us all our sinful thoughts, words, actions, and omissions; that we may implore Thy pardon for neglecting the holy inspirations and the helps to devotion which this day has afforded to our weakness. * * * *
