Albrecht Dürer, Sudarium Displayed by Two Angels, 1513. Cleveland Museum of Art.
ALL hail! most lovely, most holy, most amiable and most loving Infant Jesus, King of my soul. O most beautiful above the children of men, come into my heart; give me the true spirit of thy holy nativity—the spirit of humility, silence, docility, meekness, true and ardent charity. Give me grace daily to advance in devotion to thy blessed infancy, and faithfully to persevere in my good purposes. Bless me, divine Infant, as thou didst bless the humble Shepherds, watching over their flocks. May my only treasure be henceforth thy graces; my only pleasure, thy service and love, and my only desire, the accomplishment of thy most holy will. Amen.
