Ave Maria divae matris Annae filia unica
Ave Maria quae peperisti puerum virili sine semine.
Ave Maria Jesum tuum filium lactasti sacro ubere.
Ave Maria ipsum alluisti tua super genua.
Ave Maria tres vidisti magos offerentes munera.

Ave Maria Aegyptum fugiens petisti angeli per monita.
Ave Maria quaesisti tuam sobolem magna cum maestitia.
Ave Maria in templo reperisti docentem evangelia.
Conserva tuos famulos haec per tua merita
Et perduc eos ad caelos cum caelesti gloria
Psallentes et omnes hoc Ave Maria.
Amen.

Hail, Mary, only daughter of the blessed mother Anne.
Hail, Mary, who didst bring forth a child without the seed of man.
Hail, Mary; thou didst nourish Jesus thy Son at thy sacred breast.
Hail, Mary; thou didst wash him in thy lap.
Hail, Mary; thou didst see three wise men bringing gifts.
Hail, Mary; fleeing, thou didst set out for Egypt through the angel’s warning.
Hail, Mary; thou didst seek thy child with great sorrow.
Hail, Mary; thou didst find him in the temple expounding the Gospels
Through these thy merits preserve thy servants
And lead them to the heavens with celestial glory,
All of them singing this ‘Hail, Mary.’ Amen.
