O
virgo mater, filia
tui
beata Filii,
sublimis
et humillima
præ
creaturis omnibus.
Divini
tu consilii
fixus
ab ævo terminus,
tu
decus et fastigium
naturæ
nostræ maximum:
Quam
sic prompsisti nobilem
ut
summus eius conditor
in
ipsa per te fieret
arte
miranda conditus.
In
utero virgineo
amor
revixit igneus,
cuius
calore germinant
flores
in terra cælici.
Patri
sit et Paraclito
tuoque
Nato gloria,
qui
veste te mirabili
circumdederunt
gratiæ.
Amen
O
Virgin Mother, Daughter of your blessed Son, high and humble beyond all
creatures.
You
are the completion of the divine plan fixed forever. You are the honor and highest
peak of our nature.
What
nobility you have brought forth that the
supreme Creator should be born through you, created in a wondrous way.
In
a virgin’s womb fiery love was formed, by whose heat heavenly flowers grow on
earth.
To
the Father, and to the Paraclete, and to your Son be glory, who wonderfully surrounded
you with grace.
Amen.
Amen.
At Lauds
Dom Anselmo Lentini, OSB
Quæ
caritatis fulgidum
es
astrum, Virgo , superis,
spei
nobis mortalibus
fons
vivax es et profluus.
Sic
vales, celsa Domina,
in
Nati cor piissimi,
ut
qui fidenter postulat,
per
te securus impetret.
Opem
tua benignitas
non
solum fert poscentibus,
sed
et libenter sæpius
precantum
vota prævenit.
In
te misericordia,
in
te magnificentia;
tu
bonitatis cumulas
quicquid
creata possident.
Patri
sit et Paraclito
tuoque
Nato gloria,
qui
veste te mirabili
circumdederunt
gratiæ.
Amen
What a shining star of love for those above you are, O Virgin; to us mortals a living and flowing fount of
hope.
So
you win, O heavenly Lady, the heart of your most holy Son, that he, who
faithfully asks through you, entreats confidently.
Your
kindness not only grants help to those who plead but more often
anticipate
freely the requests of those who
pray to you.
In
you is mercy, in you is generosity; you the height of whatever goodness creatures can
own.
