Ad te clamamus, exules filii Hevæ; ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrymarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte; et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix. R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.

Hail! Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our Sweetness, and our Hope. To thee we cry, exiled children of Eve; to thee we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, O gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and, after this our exile, show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O gracious, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

Almighty and everlasting God, who, with the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, didst prepare the body and soul of the glorious virgin-mother Mary that she might deserve to become a worthy dwelling-place for Thy Son; grant that we, who rejoice in her commemoration, may, through her gracious intercession, be delivered from impending evils and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
