BEATÆ MARIÆ VIRGINIS REGINÆ: Ad Vesperas: saec. XII

Mole graváti críminum

ad te, regína cælitum,

confugiéntes, póscimus

nostris ut adsis précibus.

Ætérnæ vitæ iánua,

aurem nobis accómmoda,

per quam spes vitæ rédiit,

quam Eva peccans ábstulit.

Tu princeps, mater Príncipis,

vitam depósce fámulis,

et pæniténdi spátia

nobis indúlgens ímpetra.

Oránte te, sanctíssima,

sanctórum orant ágmina;

tuis, regína, précibus

conciliétur Dóminus.

Regnátrix mater ómnium,

vota comple fidélium,

ac vitam nos post frágilem

ad veram perduc réquiem.

Sit laus Patri cum Fílio

et Spíritu Paráclito,

qui te præ cunctis cælica

exornavérunt glória. Amen.

Weighted down by the burden of our sins,  fleeing  to you, O Queen of heaven,  we ask that you hear our prayers. Door of eternal life, turn your ears to us, though whom the hope of life returned, which Eve in sin had lost.  You, the Princess, Mother of the Prince, give life to your servants and room for repentance, prayer for our forgiveness. When you pray, O Most Holy, the whole company of the saints pray; by your prayers we are reconciled to God. Queen, Mother of all people, fulfill the prayers of the faithful, andf after this fragile life lead us to true rest.  Praise be to the Father with the Son,  and to the Spirit the Comforter, who has adorned you with heavenly glory beyond all others. Amen.
