 The Holy Seraphic Religion throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee;

The Father of profoundest humility;

Thine honourable, true and Apostolic Institute;

Also thy holy spirit of poverty.

Thou art the Image of Christ the King of Glory.

Thou art, as it were, the second Son of the Father everlasting.

When thou tookest upon thee the Old Man thou didst not fear the severest sufferings of the Cross.

When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, thou didst stand in the Sepulchre, and like one living, look towards the Kingdom of Heaven.

Thou sittest on the Throne of Lucifer in the glory of the Father.

We believe that thou shalt come to judgement with the Cross of the Judge.

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants whom thou hast gathered together with the precious blood of thy wounds.
