“O LORD, ETERNAL AND OMNIPOTENT GOD, THOU HAST, BY THY HOLY WORD, CREATED THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, AND THE SEA; BLESSED AND GLORIFIED BE THY NAME; PRAISED BE THY MAJESTY, WHO HAST DEIGNED THAT, BY MEANS OF THY UNWORTHY SERVANT, THY SACRED NAME SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND MADE KNOWN IN THIS NEW QUARTER OF THE GLOBE.”
-CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
