Hail, Star of the Sea, loving Mother of God and
ever virgin, fair gate of heaven. You who received the “Ave’ from the mouth of
Gabriel, establish us in peace, reversing the name of “Eva”. Break the chains
of sin, give light to the blind, drive away our evil, ask for us all that is
good. Show yourself a mother, may he who was born for us and humbled himself to
be your Son, receive our prayer through you.
Virgin alone, meek beyond all others, cause our sins to be absolved,
make us meek and chaste. Make our life unsullied, our journey safe, that we may
see Jesus and with you praise him forever. Amen.
