Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
WE fly to thy protection, O Holy Mother of God, thou art the defence of all good Christians, the Seat of Wisdom, the Mother of Good Counsel. Oh! mayest thou shed upon us the light of thy countenance, and direct and sanctify all our undertakings.
Thou knowest, Most Holy Virgin, how much we require thy all-powerful aid; put an end, then, Sweet Mother, to the evils that afflict us; heal our wounds; relieve our wants and miseries; and obtain for us strength and courage to struggle against the assaults of the enemy, and to detect his snares; and, through thy intercession, to persevere until death in the holy fear and love of God. Amen.
