Latin text
Sancta Maria, mater Dei: ora pro nobis.
Sancta Maria, regina caeli: ora pro nobis.
Sancta Maria, domina angelorum: ora pro nobis.
Sancta Maria, laus omnium sanctorum: ora pro nobis.
Sancta Maria, [refugium miserorum:] ora pro nobis.
Te, domina, invocamus, peccatores ne nos despicias, quae soles omnium misereri.
Tu es enim gratia plena, dulcis, clemens, et inter mulieres semper benedicta, quae thronum regalem ut sis advocata peccantibus.
Rogamus te, veneranda, rerum omnium imperatrix et potens regina,
per illa beata ubera quae lactaverunt puerum Jesum,
per tuum quoque gaudium ineffabile, ne nos derelinquas sine adiutorio,
sed nunc et in hora mortis nostrae sicut scis et vis nos miseros consolare,
ut te sequentes regnum filii tui participemus.
Amen.
