Woe to me, wretch, how have I lost the light & gone into the darkness?... What help shall I pray for, who am cheated of aid by the devil?

... I shall go to that same Mother of the Lord, holy, glorious, and bright, and Her alone I shall entreat with all my heart and soul, and I shall pray and fast in Her venerable temple without ceasing, until I obtain Mercy through Her on the Day of Judgment .... The Prayer of Theophilus
