Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
Be present with me too, all ye Elect of God; help my good resolutions. O Virgin Mary, holy Mother of God, together with thy most chaste Spouse S. Joseph, and thou, holy Angel, my faithful Guardian, and you, likewise, my especial Patrons (SS. NN), and you, whose memory is this day kept, stretch forth to me your assisting hand of help, admonish me when heedless, bring me back into the path of safety when I wander, and whatever good resolutions I have this day made, help me faithfully to fulfil. And do thou, O my God, and my all, grant me the inspiration of thy grace.
Vouchsafe, O God, this day to keep me without sin. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us; let thy mercy, O Lord, be shewed upon us, according as we have hoped in thee. In thee, O Lord, have I trusted, let me not be confounded for ever.
