 The Presentation of the Virgin Mary at Lauds: At Lauds: 12th – 13th Centuries  



María, virgo régia,

sponsa regis et fília,

te Dei sapiéntia

elégit ante sæcula.

 

Puélla carens mácula,

Dei domus ebúrnea,

te dedicávit cælitus

missus ab eo Spíritus.

 

Caritátis signáculum,

totíus boni spéculum,

auróra veri lúminis,

arca divíni séminis,

 

In domo summi príncipis

tu áffluis delíciis;

virga Iesse florígera,

repléris Dei grátia.

 

O margaríta cándida

et stella mundi spléndida,

fac puris esse móribus

nos vera templa Spíritus.

 

Sit Trinitáti glória,

o Virgo nobilíssima,

quæ te suórum múnerum

thesáurum dat magníficum. Amen.

 

Mary, royal Virgin, spouse and daughter of the King, the wisdom of God chose you before the ages. A young girl without spot. the ivory house of God, the Holy Spirit sent from above set you apart. Sign of love, Mirror of every good, dawn of the true Light, Ark of the divine seed. In the house of the highest Ruler you overflow with delights, the flourishing rod of Jesse, you are filled with the grace of God. O shining Pear, radiant Star of the world, grant that by living purely we may become temples of the Spirit. To the Trinity glory, O Virgin most noble, who gave you such a great treasury of gifts. Amen
