Film Prayer

In the autumn of 1993 Papa Storch
presented his little nipper with an effigy of the „Mother of God of Abiding Succour“.
On the reverse side there was this handwritten, fervent prayer:

Holy Mary,
Mother of God
of Abiding Succour and also our Mother,
pray for us,
my friends and benefactors,
and help me to receive
good thoughts for my films.
Amen.
