Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O ETERNAL God, light of the world, for whose glory the whole creation is ordained, to thee I submit my whole being; I beseech thy mercy to direct me in the choice of a state of life; that guided by thee I may walk in the path most pleasing to thee and most proper for working out my salvation.
O Queen of heaven, and Mother of Jesus, be a Mother to me, obtain for me of thy Divine Son that I may hear his call and faithfully accomplish his holy will. Amen.
