Quesumus omnipotens Deus, ut qui sacratissima nostre redemptionis insignia temporaliter veneramur, per hec indesinenter muniti eternitatis gloriam consequamur. Per.

In the upper right and the two lower corners flowers and plants grow on a circular grassy patch of earth. The spiralling tendrils between them carry gold balls and vine leaves and flowers.
