Te Mater Alma Numinis: Lauds on the Feast of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Extraordinary Form: Anonymous Latin, 18th Century

Te, Mater alma Numinis,

Oramus omnes supplices,

A fraude nos ut dæmonis

Tua sub umbra protegas.

Ob perditum nostrum genus

Primi parentis crimine,

Ad inclitum Matris decus

Te Rex supremus extulit.

Clementer ergo prospice

Lapsis Adami posteris:

A te rogatus Filius

Deponat iram vindicem.

Iesu, tibi sit gloria,

Qui natus es de Vírgine,

Cum Patre et almo Spiritu,

In sempiterna sæcula. Amen.

Loving Mother of God, we all humbly pray to you, that you protect us and shade us from the fraud of the demons. For the sake of our race lost in the sin of our first parent, the King supreme raised you up to the great glory of being his mother. Therefore, show your mercy to the fallen posterity of Adam, and at your intercession may your Son put aside his avenging anger.
