Martin Schongauer, The Archangel Michael Piercing the Dragon, about 1475. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O ALL ye Saints of God, and ye especially, my most beloved patron, I salute and venerate you with the most profound affection of my heart, I adore and bless the infinite goodness and condescension of the ever-adorable Trinity for all the grace which has ever flowed forth from that unfathomable overflowing abyss for your salvation; beseeching you all in general and each one of you in particular, that you would deign to offer in sacrifice to the bright and ever-peaceful Trinity, in satisfaction for all my negligence and unworthiness, all that fervent zeal and preparedness with which you stood perfect and consummate in the presence of the glory of God on the day of your entrance into heaven, to receive your everlasting reward.
To obtain this grace say with St. Gertrude the Psalm: Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes.
