Joye VI
The Magi’s Offering and the Hail Mary
The petitioner recalls the joy of the Magi’s gifts to Christ and seals the plea with the Hail Mary, asking for protection from all harm.
For the great joy and consolation you had, sweet Lady, when the three kings came with deep devotion to offer gifts to your dear Son, keep me from every disaster. Hail Mary.

Pour la grant joye et consolacion, Doulce Dame, que eus quant les troys roys A ton doulz filz par grant devocion Vindrent offrir, gard moy de tous desroys. Ave Maria.
