Albrecht Dürer, Sudarium Displayed by Two Angels, 1513. Cleveland Museum of Art.
Oh, Jesus! who art about to give thy Benediction to me, and to all who are assembled here, I humbly beseech thee that it may impart to each and all of us the special grace we need. But more than this I ask. Let thy blessing go forth far and wide. Let it be felt in the souls of the afflicted, who cannot come hither to receive it at thy feet. Let the weak and tempted feel its power wherever they may be. Let the poor sinner feel its influence, arousing him to come to thee. Let it cross the seas and animate and comfort the Missioner, away far from home and brethren, and toiling for the love of souls so dear to thy Sacred Heart. I humbly beg thy blessing for N. and N., &c. And may it effect that salutary purpose for which, O Lord, thou dost so lovingly impart it. Amen.
