blessed Mother, * and Virgin undefiled, O glorious Queen of the world, plead for us before the Lord!

Queen of heaven, * rejoice, Alleluia! for He Whom thou wast meet to bear, Alleluia, hath risen, as He said, Alleluia; pray for us to God, Alleluia.

he Holy Ghost * shall come upon thee, Mary; fear not, thou shalt hold within thy womb the Son of God, Alleluia.

ow great the mystery * of our inheritance ! The womb of one that knoweth not man hath become the temple of God! He was not defiled in taking flesh of her. All nations shall come and shall say: Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
