I am preparing myself to perform my art, please help me God to succeed in my work.

Put in my heart love for my art and for your creation and may neither the love of profit and the desire for glory and honor engage my mind for these qualities are the enemies of true love and love of humans and thus I beseech you do not make me forgetful of my work to be useful and to serve.

Grant me the physical and mental strength to be forever prepared to help the poor and the rich, the good and the bad, my love and my enemy, and may I always see the human in the infirm, may the sick trust me and my knowledge to heed my advice and to follow my instructions. Distance from the infirm all quack doctors and the entire army of close advisors and the cunning crafts as they are a cruel people who from arrogance and haughtiness will thwart any good intention.

Grant me the wisdom to listen to the voice of the genuine wise of my art who strive to instill knowledge, as the field of wisdom is abundant and wide. Grant me the strength and the courage to dismiss cunning fools who find fault so that I may not deviate from the way of truth without prejudice.

Amen
